What is the racial makeup of the Rockstar North writing team? Specifically, how people were involved in the writing of Grand Theft Auto V were black?

Well the only person who gets writing credit on V is Dan Houser, which isn't exactly true. But the entire GTA writing team is well under 10 people. GTA IV by comparison lists 4 writers: Dan Houser, Michael Unsworth, Rupert Humphries and John Zurhellen.

Rockstar North was the lead design and Dan Houser has been a (if not the main) writer for all GTA games.

Wikipedia lists the writers as Dan Houser, Rupert Humphries, Micheal Unsworth.

Then there's this article about using non-actors for more authenticity in some of the speaking roles. A lot of their dialogue was ab-libbed by the performers.

Spoiler alert: Dan Houser looks white. He's also not even American.

Rockstar North is based in Scotland, even, which definitely comes as a shock to a lot of people.
