Does anyone else find this... weird?
I find it really weird. Its like some white guys making an all-white corp that only speaks english and calling it the "ARYAN KILLERS CORP". Its just unsettling to me. Largely because of the prevalence. Its everywhere. Corp names. Squad finder. User names. Can someone explain to me the why behind all this?

I don't find it weird.
They are proud of their heritage.
If they want to express it in their names, I don't find that "weird" any more than "What the French" was made up of people from France.
They are, after all, a minority, and the same rules for the english-speaking white majority don't apply. |

THATS racist
Since dust is an international game, whites are no longer the majority. Chinese and Indians beat out whites by a billion.

Chinese and Indians beat out whites by a billion. Yeah. Pretty much this too. In the grand scheme of things white people are an international minority. They make up only a tiny portion of the world population.
Its still weird to tie race to a gaming community, in this case corporations, regardless of whatever race that is. Nationalities are fine. What the French, Dust Brazil SA, and others like that are cool. But race is weird.

To answer your question yes.
I have commented on this before.
You will not receive a rational reply because to discuss it rationally would expose the hypocrisy of it.

Wrong, Jewish people consider themselves a race separate from others.

I am going to hazard a guess that it simply makes it easier to find players that speak your own language, when its otherwise too easy to assume everyone knows english
the number of Spanish-speaking players I've encountered in local chat and in battle is making me want to try picking up the language... half of my family is fluent in Spanish, I have no excuse |

Canadian here. No, Canada was never a Spanish/latin colony, you had two forts that lasted were abandoned 6 years after they were founded (1789-1795). The current population of Nuca is 25 and that was only after the natives moved back in - so much for being a 'colony'

Disculpa, quise escribir colonia francesa, todos los pa+ˇses latinoamericanos fueron originalmente colonias espa+¦olas, francesas o de Portugal; respecto a si son latinoamericanos por su idioma, Canad+í tambi+¬n cumple en parte este requisito, ya que el franc+¬s, -lengua oficial- es una lengua romance tambi+¬n; aunque por el lado origen tambi+¬n hay mucha controversia; que si la monarqu+ˇa era brit+ínica, que si su reina era de origen aleman, que si la raza es de origen franco-celta, que si antes de alemana era sajona... Los aztecas, tribu nahuatl, poblaci+¦n predominante en M+¬xico durante la colonia, originalmente eran norteamericanos... Resumiendo: las +¦nicas nacionalidades puras son las abor+ˇgenes, casi exterminadas en norteam+¬rica, excepto M+¬xico que como en U.S.A. tiene variedad, aunque con mayor poblaci+¦n.
Recordemos que United States of America no es igual a United States of NorthAmerica y Estados Unidos Mexicanos no es igual a Estados Unidos de America

I like it. It let's me know who not to group with or play against because they usually lag the place out with bad connections.
And that's not racist. That's called being realistic about internet connections.
