Many of my friends have 360's and mention that there are a lot of racists on live. There were even some threads in the 360 forum about racist comments and so on.

I just got my PS3 for Christmas so i havent been at PSN for too long but i've never had any racist comments just yet. Have you ever had any racist comments or such a thing at PSN? Or is it just that Live is full of idiots who think they are 'hard' if they give stupid comments?

There are way more idiots on XBL, but there are still a lot of idiots on PSN, so don't be surprised when you hear some racist statements.

Both Live and PSN have little kids who swear every other word just because they can. I don't hear it that much, but I do notice it sometimes.

Unfortunately there are some idiots everywhere that are racist. Personally I think this is something that some of us could resolve by just ignoreing these people, or better yet not allow them in any games that we are hosting.

If you don't like the racist comments, just turn your hearing aids off.

I think this is a really good idea. Unfortunately, some people will always be ignorant, but if we actively block those people who make inappropriate comments then we can show that we won't tolerate that type of behaviour

I have just looked at the results of the poll and someone has admitted to making racist comments. What sort of person would admit to being racist?

to be honest with you, there arent many comments about anything. hardly anyone has a blu tooth headset or talks.

most of the people who do are like the general gaming public though, it will be worse when home comes out

360 Live has turned me away from using my mic during online games...racist remarks, as well as other stupid things (like singing and yelling) have made me set my mic to mute and avoid all conversation.

I just got a PS3 and don't plan on using a mic...because of the community I experienced on 360 and the overall amount of whinning kids just make me nervous.

Been called many things over XBL, especially on gears of war and COD4, apparently because I killed the same guy over and over (didnt even realize it) I'm racist. I admit I'm so damn racist against a different digital person, those pixels just rub me the wrong way..

I agree about blocking those that would be racist on these networks but, it will be very difficult. As long as people can say whatever the hell they want in this country, they will continue to say ignorant comments especially if they are sore losers. Besides, always remember that whatever the color of your skin, race or creed, most gamers would not have the kintama(balls) to say ignorant racist comments in person. We true gamers respect the skill and technique of a gamer no matter what their race is. They could be purple, it doesn't matter what you are, it's how you handle yourself in the game. That is all that matters.

I'll admit I'm kinda racist (well... maybe politically incorrect is a better term). I don't start calling people racist names unless I get called one. Then I'll go off.

Most people area little racist (anyone who says otherwise is lying).If you aren't a little racist, then you've been living a sheltered life.

Dont forget only people in power of a country can be considered racist.. In America its white people.. so remember only white people can be racist in America. Everyone else is just prejudice.

I'm not going to lie. I have been online and people just start going off. I mean me and my friend were talking, who is Black as well, and someone could tell and boom...monkey this, n word that, and coon and it just kept going. But I realized on the box it says ESRB gaming online may change rating and all that. If I play online more then an hour I will run into some idiot if I jump from room to room. But talking with the sane really cool people online way outways the scare of racist comments. I mean hey...call me the N word and I will digitally shoot you in the head. Period.

Ive heard it. I dont know with me im not. And I mean in full im not. My one nephew is "not African American" more like Jamaican American. But hes dark skinned. Even thow my brother is vary light skinned. Yea my sister-in-law is Jamaican. Odd thing is my brother acts as flat white as can be lol "Got pics of both im my pick section on this site." Its not a big deal in the family at all.

I see it at the track thow. And when James Stewart came into motocross, and was the only real threat to Charmichael. And than beat Charmichael. Thats when you see who is and whos not. Everyone was split between that rivalry. More so than the riders themselves, who got along well. They huged after each race or whatever. And got along much better than Reed vs Charmichael. And Im a big Stewart fan also so. And hes a African American "BAD AZZ" Motocrooss/Supercross racer. The only one in the pros, and first to be a champion.

If people are they are, if not their not. I mean I hate Microsoft do to things in the past. And not just in gaming. Maybe im racist to their ways. But I mean ill go the full mile to make sure I get to them. And have more plans for that latter with others. So, I dont know. Hate has to come from something. I know all people are not good. either way. Like I have had bad experience's with Hicks. "No bs" So thus I get a little iffy around mid southern people. Or vary small town people. Im racist against EA, and hackers who work on the PC/micro side. No one loves everyone. I just dont see the color thing. But I see the class thing, and Bizz things.

There are idiots on both. Less on PS3 obviously because of a lower userbase most likely.

People are just stupid nowadays. What happened to jsut playing and having a good time. No we gotta curse out everyone we see just cause your team didnt win. Come on. As far as racist comments go, I think I was called a Mexican a few times on Live and 1 time was called an "n" word, which is weird because Im from Puerto Rico, but don't have much of an accent. People just anything nowadays to make themselves feel superior I guess.

You...are...an...idiot.

How am i an idiot? I just educated you on classic racism? Grow up its a reality. White people are in power in America.. only people in power CAN be racist! Look up racism and how its been used in the past and which counties before calling me an idiot ok? Racism is nothing more than a "machine" to keep a certain race succesful nothing more nothing less.

I only experienced racist comments one game of warhawk in all my sessions. I've played over 60 hours and to hear only one racist is really good. That guy was an @$$ and just trying to start stuff.

I grew up around a lot of racist family members and some family members that weren't racist. I was a kid around the time of all the race wars in the south (just a few miles from the Ole Miss campus during the segregation period). I have meet people from all races and ethnic groups and many of these people are very good people and a very small percentage are the ones that makes the whole group look bad.

Note I am a cacasion American.

Live by far has more offensive chatter than PS3. Well think of it this way, since the PS3 had a higher price tag, it would be more logically to think that a majority of the purchases had to be more adults with the disposable incomes. Adults usually equal more maturity.

That is so true I have meet some kids that were much more mature than older people. And sadly there are so many kids that just don't get the way things could be without the racist hate. And this is also true with older people as well. Bottom line is it's not always the age of a person but the attitude of a person.

There's a KKK clan on COD4. They use the "n" word and what not but they're so lame. Anyone that is racist on PSN is treated as a lame.
