Ghettopoly Causing A Stir
Board Game Offends Some, Amuses Others
POSTED: 4:55 p.m. EDT October 3, 2003
CHICAGO -- Those familiar pieces to the Monopoly game are the shoe, the thimble and the race car, but have you ever heard of the version with the gun or crack cocaine?
It's sure not your typical board game with player pieces that include a machine gun, drugs and a bottle of malt liquor. You can forget about buying up hotels -- in this game you purchase crack houses instead.
Ghettopoly is designed with every ethnic group in mind including the Irish, Asians and Latinos. The game's creator is David Chang, who immigrated to America from Taiwan 20 years ago. It seems a lot of people aren't laughing. In fact, they are offended -- calling it racist pornography and the worst of stereotypes.
