You made stereotypical bs accusations based on social bs bias that is largely a small minority of the black or hispanic culture. You watch too much fox news, and seem shocked when someone hammers you with the truth Hannity fails to share about the world around you lol!

There was a person who said: GÇ£Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.GÇ¥

If you think china is doing well take a trip over there, have fun having people attempt to sell you child prostitutes because the average person can't afford to eat.

So, is this a badly formatted original post or an edited version of someone elses post intended to be read as a quote from the original author? Some sort of extra qualifier/clarification from outside?

I just have to get on board with this, how could I not?

Yes I'm definately one of the guys screaming something like: "f@cking Russians and their potatoe connection", or "damn, there we have a full squad of obese Mexican taco munchers on the other team, all here to ruin our framerate and fun". And I'm not even gonna quote myself in regards to the French, oh those effeminate, condescending frog f@cking batty boys...

Does this make me a "racist"? Sure, why not?

But lets focus on the Hispanic part of it, as it is the topic of the day. I didn't have anything especially against south Americans, Mexicans or whoever really. But then I took a trip to Mexico, staying there for 5 weeks. And I have to admit, I do sort of pity the general Mexican population. I mean, what a dump!

When 22 million people are sharing 3 trash cans its bound to be messy. And I do wonder, with 22 million people in the same city, couldn't you just take a 1000 dudes and do something about that open river of suage running right through your city? Seriously dudes, you might be poor, but come on, a little less of the sweet Mary Jane, a bit more honest hard work and it wouldn't be nearly so bad. A bit more honest hard work on top of that and you would perhaps resemble a very poor white boy country.

Another big issue I had in Mexico: as a decently tall white man I was bumping my head into all kinds of stuff. Signs, archways and lots of other stuff that I have no idea what to call in English. And naturally, I had to look down on all the people, they where on average very short... So I decided to make myself a name for them, I decided that calling them Midgets or Dwarfs are a bit offensive, and not really accurate. So I decided to merely call them Ompa-Lompa's. Very descriptive and, well, "sort of correct".

Now though, I am a very happy man indeed. Not only have I taken a long break from Dust, hooked up my PS4 for some actual quality games, but I am also in love. Yes sir! Right at this very moment my own Ompa-Lompa is making me a nice cup of tea. She is pregnant carrying my semi Ompa-Lompa baby and a wedding is coming soonTM. (It will be a girl and we've decided to call her Leia, its got nothing to do with Star Wars )

So, call me a racist all you want, I will never sensur myself in the 1 outlet I have, shooting people in the face on the net. Real life is full of scenarios where we have to take great care about what we say and sometimes more importantly; how we say it.


And for the OP: get yourself a ******* pump...

Edit: Coj@nes is sensured, balls is not, go figure...

To sit here and pretend, with mr. El operator, that stereotypes describe the large majority is foolish. Not all white people think negatively about minorities, but alot of minorities think they do because social media says so. That is a fair assessment of the situation regardless of ethnicity. Stereotypes, not monitored, quickly become truth because it's easier to blanket and seperate by class, religion, or any difference we can seperate with.

Nothing I said here on this post can make him see me, or any of the Spanish or black community, any different.

And that's a shame

Is this the thread where we all get white capes, pitchforks and thorches and start purging hispanios?

All I ever see is a hatred for the internet connections of latin countries, not the ethnicity.

As for any discrimination, try being a Southerner and a Christian and see how long it takes for someone to sh*t on you and call themselves decent people. Cry me a river.

Everyone, deserves music.
Sweet music.

Well, no addressing of the previous points so we'll continue on then with these.

Where and when in this thread am I pretending stereotypes describe the large majority of anyone?

You've made an interesting transition in idea, from people ("like" me) being shaped by mass media (Fox news/Hannity) to those people now being shaped by "social media". Social media (like this forum) being distinctly different from mass media in content, audience and purpose. Most notably tho they're different in their content generation sources, mass media long having been the outlet of major media interests whereas social media is a cumulative total of its social userbase.

So since now its social media leading folks astray into stereotyping at what point do we consider the individual's responsibility in society at recognizing when and when is not a stereotype applicable? A stereotype such as xenophohia being the motivator behind a group or individuals actions or activities?

Heres a stereotype:

All US Army personnel are torturers and blatant treasonists.

Heres a couple "proofs" of that.

[insert absolutely inappropriate for this forum weblink images of Abu Ghraib prison abuse and Timothy McVeigh here]

So, how accurate is the statement above?

And how does its accuracy or inaccuracy relate to the OP's conclusion that outright xenophobism is the underlying force behind the games current "prominent corps"?

OK one for the road, why not?

What you're doing is arguing for the sake of argument at this point. My point was made 2 or 3 pages ago, but like most forum trolls, you would rather pick apart certain sections of a word than deal with the topic in it's entirety.

I gave problem, reason, and solution, and laid out who, what, when, where, why, and how. At which point you simply began to do what trolls do best. Type.

No real point, but I can smell the offense taken. You(your type), see this stereotype, don't like to admit what you know to be right is in fact wrong. I'll put this simply, and I'm done...

IT IS NOT RIGHT, MORALLY OR OTHERWISE, TO ADDRESS ANYONE NEGATIVELY WITHOUT PROPER CAUSE!

The setting doesn't matter. Video game, social media, clan rally, boxing match, etc.

It doesn't matter what race, color, creed, or ethnicity. If I'm black, let me be black! Why does what I do in my spare time matter to you so much? If I'm not causing bodily harm to you or yours, so be it!

All the OP asked was for us, as a community, to be more aware of others. Why was that met with such disdain? None of you denied it taking place. You even admitted to knowing that racial slurs are indeed thrown around, and there is a general hatred for the Spanish community in-game. Instead you guys came here to defend the actions, slurs, and behaviors???

Say what you want I'm done with it. Smh

Hey, genius! This:



... is exactly the sort of thing that justifies the **** talk you're protesting. "Proper Cause" is easily aspects or behaviours that others find detrimental to ones gaming experience. GO READ those 8 pages of responses about lag etc. Difference is, unlike the MUTE or BLOCK buttons that a player can use to silence the comments of others they don't want to hear there are no magic buttons to resolve lag or questionable connection speeds.




Yeah, stay in the army bud. We've got enough idiots with kids out here in the real world with no critical thinking skills.

Race is the easiest thing to pick on someone
