I went to South Africa for a few weeks before. Mozambique as well. In both places I actually encountered racism (Im White and Hispanic). It happens everywhere. My ex who lives there and is an Afrikaner says the same. Racism can happen to anyone, anywhere. No surprise that it happens on a game in forums where people arent really held accountable for their words in the same way they may be irl.
I actually extremely agree with this post, I've been judged and called racist by many people because of my opinions. Guess what you can go ahead and call my ass racist, but it's you who in fact need a lesson on the word racism and what it truley means if you want to call someone racist over another's opinions that doesn't agree with yours. Racism, one who thinks their race is supiror to all others, every race is capable of being racist, because everyone is capable of hating. Well said stormy I agree 100%.
That person was just trolling u...it was obvious in their other remarks. And I think that connects w what op said abt the cheap laughs. I agree its for that reason usually, but I suppose my post was narrow in that I was only talking abt those that make forum posts about things such as immigration for example, where u can see the racism without any trolling nature behind it. I personally get more offended by those posts than the ones where the person is just trying very hard to be a dick.
It's aggravating bc the person screaming race doesn't know how it effects the person being called racist. I know that my sister was once called racist just because she wouldn't give a guy a ride to the store for gas. She had two small mixed children in the car with her and she wasn't sure about picking up a stranger. Those kids heard that guy call their mom a racist and they had questions. My sister had to explain to her two small children what it ment and why the guy accused her of being racist. That word effects people in different ways people should think before they scream it. Be a human and just think how could this effect someone real life
Everyone seems to be affected by something some one says or their actions. Each generation has been named something: Generation Baby Bloomers, Generation X. This Generation should be called: Generation of whiney little bitches. Take something you don't like and whine about it online, let's all be cool.
Also - generation desperate for attention, for those of you who cannot survive without the acceptance of others and will do anything to get it. Amirite?
