i didn't think racism was this bad in america until now. not just for what the guy is saying but also for the comments people wrote, proving that this guy isn't just some lonely lunatic. its sad to see some people actually agree with this guy, just scroll to the pages of comments and you'll se what i mean. they may not be many, only a few, but the numbers still shocked me. (or maybe its just the youtube community that is so primitive, i certainly don't epect to see absolutely anyone on gamespot acutally agree with Jay Severin, but who knows i might be surprised again)

am i the only one surprisedby this? or did anyone see this coming?

this guy really pissed me off, i wanna punch him in the face and am not even mexican. i can't imagine how much they actually hate this guy.

Those comments are just the Youtube community. I doubt that most of them truly believe that garbage.

lol close. We did take over the native americans land and then kill the majority of them off. My grandfather was full blood Cherokee so this is a part of American history that particularly annoys me...

If you ever want your faith in humanity shaken to its core, then read a few youtube comments.

Yeah it's depressing, but it's a little difficult to believe that they're all serious.

Well, we weren't the first country to persecute the native Americans nor were we the first to displace Africans and use them as slave labor, but to my knowledge we were the first to usesymbols of racism as a point of cultural pride.

I don't know. Maybe I'm being naive, but I do really think we have made progress. There is ALWAYS going to be a group that does not like minorities, but I don't think that group (especially among the younger generations) is as big as it used to be.

That was the English.

English who became Americans...:S That could be argued all day, so I'm not even going to go there.

Racism existed the first time humans met other humans that weren't from their tribe/clan/etc. You Tube/GameSpot/MySpace is merely the modern method of humanity hating humans that aren't the same.

What we need is a gigantic Human-Eating predator to populate the lands of earth once again, so we can remember in our egocentricity how stupidly mundane humans become when we don't have something else to hate.

We're all killers and freaks to nature perhaps.

I wouldn't put too much stock in youtube comments, I remember this one video that had about 50 comments, and every single one of them was making fun of the guy in the video because he was fat. The people who comment on youtube are 90% A-holes. I suppose everyone is racist to some degree though. I guess it's in our nature to dislike or distrust things that are diffrent.

I see it, but America isn't exactly a race. I guess the irony still applies, though.

Jewish wasn't / isn't a race, either. Irony is educational! So the word of 'racism' might be substituted with simply 'hate'.

IDK...sigh... Bring on the T-Rex's again! RROOOOAAAAR!! "RUN!"

The youtube community is notoriously ignorant, but racism is common in every part of the world, across all times.

It is easy to mock what you don't understand. It takes true intelligence to instead try and learn about these so called "primitives."
