Gaming.... a "white mans" medium?

They have a big impact on music that was developed through their own culture (namely Jazz and rap). How often do you see a black rockstar?

That's not entirely correct.. Don't forget blues, which laid to the foundation to most Rock genres..

Not to mention Jimi Hendrix being one of the most influential rock guitarists to have ever lived.

Blues is not rock. Rock does have its roots in blues, but they are still different genres. His question still holds true.

Rock music is mainly played by musicians that are not black.
Rap music is mainly created by musicians that are black.

How often do you see white rappers? Yeah, a bit more now since MTV made rap mainstream, but it is still dominated by black people (at least in America!).

Of course there are always exception. Jimi Hendrix and Slim Shady are two examples.

And Billy Preston, who could be considered among a select few to be the Fifth Beatle.

They may be different genres but most people who study music will tell you that Blues influenced Rock.. Elvis is a perfect example..

Isn't this because the overwhelming majority of people who play games in the US and Europe are white? This is the same reason that nearly all lead roles in Asian games are, well, Asian. All companies are doing is catering to the predominant section of their audience.

Heck if African countries develop to the point our societies have, then I can guarantee that the overwhelming majority of their game characters would be black. I would imagine it's a simple as that.

Didn't I say that in my last post (bolded)? I used to be a pretty big Led Zeppelin fan. That is almost more blues than rock overall.

No offense, but the part I bolded makes me literally feel nauseous when I read it. I agree with the rest of what you said.

That is what I meant, though I admittedly phrased it poorly.
