References?

The auhor of this article left no refferences, as such I'm going to have to pull the last paragraph untill someone provides us with a link that shows that Hasbro was in fact sued over this game's commercial. Deathawk 01:14, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Is your person white?

If I remember correctly arent they all white? Although i guess they could have changed it to be more politically correct by putting in other races. I dont know, i have the old version, the one that says "not recommended for retards". Someone else can sign it for me, i dont know how to do it.

I'm pretty sure I once had a version with black people. --Taejo|대조 16:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Wait, since when did the color of a persons skin have anything to do with the pseudoscientific concept of "different human races"? Ran4 (talk) 13:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I believe that's the precise definition of said pseudoscientific concept. That's what makes it pseudoscientific, it's based on superficialities like skin color. Isn't that rather obvious?

Remember, this is a game designed for kids, who typically aren't old enough to know about, much less to be sensitive to political correctness. They will usually say "is your person black?" rather than "is your person an african american?" and it's okay, they're kids, as long as they're not being offensive let them stay that way. 24.253.133.235 (talk) 04:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Human races are an extremely real concept in society even if they aren't significant in biology, which is irrelevant to this game either way. However, my household owns two editions of Guess Who, and the older (from my childhood and therefore probably from the late 80s or early 90s) has people who all appear to be of European extraction, while the more recent, bought for this Christmas just past, has several people with the same shade of mid-brown skin, such as might be found in persons of mixed European/sub-Saharan African ancestry, or the darker 'Caucasians' typically found in the Middle East and Indian subcontinent. We usually say "brown skin" or "dark skin" when asking about those people, 'cause only one of them looks specifically African, and one of them looks more Australian Aboriginal to me. --Kelly holden (talk) 00:38, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

By the way, I love how some of the characters are obviously Jewish <3 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 03:52, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

I have reverted the page beecause the content might be useful however, assume good faith. Tennekis 22:41, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Addition to tactics section?

In my instructions it offers the suggestion that you play with 2 cards at once. ("Does either of your people have black hair?", "Are both of your people men?") This makes for a significantly more complicated game, and I thought we might consider mentioning it. 132.162.79.247 (talk) 00:37, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

3 game series?

The article says only the third game matters...this makes no sense, is it correct?Mwv2 (talk) 03:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

The counter on My guess who game goes up to 5. 80.176.141.31 (talk) 14:22, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Black people?

Looks to me like, contradicting the article text, there were black people in Guess Who? at least as early as 1996: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/50796/guess-who —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.250.242 (talk) 16:53, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Even my 80's edition of the game isn't populated solely by blonde, blue-eyed Anglos. The darkest persons in the picture you linked do look as if they may be of Latin American or Mediterranean origin, but they aren't much darker then in the original editions, and they still have a European skin tone, compared to later editions where there are people are definitely brown-skinned.

Your Person Is...

Why don't we have a list of the names of the "Guess Who" people? I would really like to know the people in every version of this game. StarLegacy (talk) 19:03, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
