Not to be racist, but...

Why is that racist.. at all? And no I haven't

Been seeing an increase in scripters as well.

I see them all the time when I play late at night or early in the morning, but I wouldn't say its an increase. Theres always been a ton of them , and, not to be "racist", but generally they all play very poorly.

nope

Hello Everyone,

I, personally have not noticed an increase of Chinese speaking players on the NA server. What I do notice is the assumption that the question has negative intentions by those commenting to this post.

I do think, especially for North Americans as they are generally super-sensitive to this, the choice of title 'Not to be racist, but...' was rather poor. Hence I would recommend to the writer of the post to reconsider titles that people might be sensitive to. However, the title in and of itself does not infer racism by itself. The idea of racism given to this title is that in recent times this phrase 'not to be racist, but ...' has been linked by people to accuse the speaker of racism. As far as I know the phrase 'Not to be racist, but...' started to be used by people as they became fearful of being called racist as their remark contained a reference to another ethnicity, which necessarily has racist intentions.

In case of this post, the writer, based on the question, does ask a question related to perhaps an ethnic group, but merely asks for verification (or not) of something he/she apparently observed. I also do not know what further use answering or verifying this users observation would have, but then again, I did not ask the question. However, let us not defacto assume someone has the worst intentions, or bad intentions at all.

Thank you for reading, and I'd be happy to further discuss and debate with any of you. :) H33P

so what ?

NORTH AMERICA is a very big place with all races, nationalities, creeds, religions etc

Has anyone seen an increase in the amount of Chinese/Chinese speaking players on the NA server lately?

Supposing this were true, why would it be a bad thing?
