Genuinely struggling to remember what that could even be about.
I mean, it’s been like 25 years since I played them, but I don’t recall any obviously bad things in there. It’s not like it was filled with old Jackie Chan film levels of cartoon racism.

In Tomb Raider 3 an antagonist faction includes black men who want to eat Laura, and not in the same way I do if you catch my meaning.

I haven’t played it but that doesn’t sound racist to me if the context is right. There are cannibal tribes today. They are black skinned. This is fact.

The voice acting has quite a range of stereotyped accents. Nothing they say is overtly racist, but the over the top accents themselves sure are.
