    Were people this unhinged about CJ being black?

    I remember seeing a mod to make CJ white and the Grove Street Families a neonazi gang featured prominently on some modding site (I think it was what later became/is now Nexus) in 2010 or thereabouts, so I'm gonna say the answer is that there have always been weirdo reactionary nerds and a broader reactionary undercurrent to American counter culture in general, which just came to a head and crystalized into the modern reactionary nerd movement with Gamergate.
