Rockstar Gmaes issued an official apology to the Haitian government and community for remarks made in Vice City, and has removed these "offensive" lines from future versions of the game.

Now, i own, beat, and thoroughly love Vice City, and for the life of me i can't remember anything offensive enough to warrent such action on behalf of the Haitians. Yeah, there were Haitian gangs, but should Rockstar apologize to Italians for Tommy Vercetti? It seems like asking Pacino to apologize to Cubans for Scarface. Is everything going to have to be down with ethnically cleansed, unicks for characters. Populate Vice City with a bunch of Ken dolls, i guess.

I'm upset Rockstar caved to such bullshit.
