I remember when the PC version of SA came out and almost immediately there was a mod to turn CJ white what-the-hell

remember, these are the people who cry so much about people "blackwashing" characters

This is pretty funny because a white CJ might make sense in a rural, southern setting (especially Appalachia), but it takes place in a hood in LA, so the story is just about a white guy who hangs out with black gangsters

At the time I thought, ”sure, you can make CJ white, but what about….everything else in the game? I don't think someone who doesn't want to play as black man is going to like the rap radio stations, black main characters, outright references to the LA riots, etc.”

IIRC there were mods to make the rest of the gang into white skinheads. Gmers being gmers.
