Posting this on bhavv's behalf. I'm 99.9% certain his library of pictures isn't as vast as mine.

So please, don't try to make something out of nothing.

Actually it is racist so stfu.

OT: I don't think it will be a problem. In fact, the poor Koreans are going to have everyone trolling their districts ^_^

And Asian players' apparently crappy grasp at English is worse than a majority of first language English-speakers on Guild Wars... How?

WTS Elite 'Tomb', anyone?! Only available to the terminally ill, yet rich unfortunately.

/close please

Full of racist undercurrents. Its not dirrect... but it is too much of a powder keg to discuss on a forum.

Furthermore... how the heck would this increase spam exactly? Each district instance has a limited number of people that can show up at any one time. Its not like "more" people are going to be able to squeeze into a district then before.
It is just a stupid complaint that isn't thought out at all that relies on racial prejudices for its arguements for its hypothesis.

This is so not true, how many days have it been since the district thingy been activated and i still don't see any more spam then there already is when the districty thingy was not activated.

HAHAHAHA and there's a good thing about Korean district that I am not telling you guys. i am so playing on the Korean server from now onwards. :P~

bhavv · Jan 19, 2008, 09:33 AM // 09:33

Ive been playing in korean districts since this update was available. Less people unfortunately, and virtually no spam... BECAUSE THE SPAMMERS GO TO ID1.

And the people there speak clearer english

>wins thread<

<3 korean district and the guild tags look awesome.

maraxusofk · Jan 19, 2008, 09:43 AM // 09:43

i can tell u already there is going to be ALOT of people asking to buy asian minis in the districts, even though a small porportion of the asian districts have one such pet.

Actually, no. Racism is hatred or intolerance of another race (source: Dictionary.com). A statement referring to a race in a non-derogatory manner is not racist. So, saying "Have you ever played Diablo II with Asians? It's hell." is a derogatory and intolerant statement with regards to Asians. Saying "the poor Koreans are going to have everyone trolling their districts" is neither derogatory nor intolerant of anyone.

It doesn't imply nothing of the sort. It clearly states "everyone trolling," which even includes the Koreans - in other words, there will be lots of people about. I think you read a bit much into it.

"poor asians " HAVING their districts trolled
anyway,I rest my case,its just what you want to make out of it I guess.

Fril Estelin · Jan 19, 2008, 11:36 AM // 11:36

Please, please, people. For the sake of those that really suffer from racism, please let's not make this an argument that shouldn't be. I'm not saying that people are or are not telling racist statements on this thread, I'm just pointing to the fact that this is a serious offense and we should not use the word lightly.

I guess this thread should be closed if it continues on this path.

Rocky Raccoon · Jan 19, 2008, 12:36 PM // 12:36

I agree the thread should probably be closed. The thing that really bothers me is that some people can't see what they are saying maybe racist.

Numa Pompilius · Jan 19, 2008, 01:48 PM // 13:48

It's very easy to tell if a statement is racist: if it makes a sweeping generalization based on race.

E.g. "asians play Diablo2 poorly" is racist.

On a sidenote: as with all sweeping generalizations the statement will always be wrong.

Turtle222 · Jan 19, 2008, 02:04 PM // 14:04

What a retarded thread this is.

You're dumb.

"Asians play Diablo 2 AWESOME" is racist according to you.

You dont say. That is racist too, like saying black men have big... Feet.

Any generalisation or judgement of a race is racism. Why are there so many uneducated twats on this thread? :-(

Back in the 70s and 80s white brits used to make the comment 'Aww look at the cute little chocolate kids' to describe black children. The people saying it thought it was cute and a compliment, the kids it was said too and their parents found it offensive. You dont decide what racism is and isnt. If you say anything along the lines of 'this race is like this' you are being racist.
