u saw the video i posted laterOh yes, that. Now I get the connection. 
Except Woody's slaves are interns, just like Janna.
In a way, this is a little of where videogames can help preserve history a little. People growing up often don't realize how much of the world were complete dicks to the rest of the world and what there is to learn from that. We've gotten so (rightfully) sensitive in our current times, people are sometimes too quick to censure the brutal realities of history.

That's fine then 
@ Janna
And I guess, but you don't find this a bit offensive?

It certainly has its offensiveness. But at the same time, it bugs me that people are so quick to sanitize history -- to tear down every public water fountain split between "whites" and "coloreds" because it offends them, but in the process they cover up the past. Tom Sawyer is just a giddy kid in the South, unlike that racist asshole Huck Finn. Or even that Walt Disney has pulled Song of the South off of the market -- as if to deny the fact that once it was socially acceptable to make an offensive movie for kids that played on stereotypes.
Now does that mean we should bring slavery back and make it a fun game? I dunno. Slaves came from all over. In South Africa, many of the slaves came from Indonesia, for example. I think there's a brutality in history that should be told today. It's one thing to try to forgive your past, it's another thing to try to forget it and cover it up.
In that sense, the videogame isn't endorsing slavery against races any more than first-person shooter games endorse putting a cap in your mom's ass. And if that's how some retarded kids learn history, better that they know it rather than the glossed over version.
