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?

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.
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.

Inb4 "That's racist!" 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.
That's kind of what I figured was the case...

Inb4 "That's racist!" Jelly cuz you can't call yourself whities :)
I could call myself that, but I don't want to, because that's weird.
Which is why I think "Latino" is weird.

Well, there you go.
I'm just misinformed by media. I actually though Latino was referring to race...
Simple misunderstanding I guess.
