Immediately turns me off of a game.
I'm not saying games can't have white dudes as protagonists, but I get the complaint. It seems this complaint comes up whenever a game attempts to have a very cinematic, but turns it's lead into a boring rock with a gun. And more often than not, that boring lead is a white dude.
Obviously diversity in games is super important and I like having different kinds of playable characters throughout the games I play, but I really think this complaint says more about the game's writing than anything else.
