Sorry to burst your bubble, bud. But everyone is racist to everyone on Xbox Live. Nothing special about you or South Africans. Everyone gets it. Americans like to tease the Canadians, Canadians tease the Americans, and everyone in general laughs at the UK kids.

Seriously though, while on the topic....What is it with Brits being campers with snipers? That, and they ALWAYS go right back for you after you kill them, usually in the same spot, too, making it that much easier to kill them again.

So thank you, England, for being the fish in my barrel.

yeah i knw u sure they camp the most?

Every time I'm in a match of COD where I kill a guy, wait 15 seconds at the same spot, without fail, the kid will come RIGHT BACK TO THE SAME SPOT and try to kill me. Guess he doesn't realize I'm ready for him, and get another kill. Whenever this happens to the point that I start laughing, I check the gamertag when I get a sec. Over 75% of the time, says UK.

I also know because of the time of day I'm usually playing at. I'm a chef, so my schedule is all over the place. When I play around 12-3 EST, which is UK Primetime, this happens a lot.

But then again, COD is really easy for the most part. I just flank whatever area the fight is going on in and usually come up behind the other team.

Gotta love how easy shooters are getting...

What is being said to you? I think some people take things to seriously and leave their sense of humor as soon as the headset go's on.

I rib Brits about their accent and tell them they need to speak ENGLISH! lol Some lol with me, some get #$&**.

Maybe people just take things to personally.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but no.

There are many players (such as myself) who choose to not engage in racism on xbox live. I would not participate in racism in school, the workplace, or in public, so why would I do it in an online community?To me racism is wrong not only when people involved know each other's identites, but even when they don't. The "annonymity" of xbox live doesn't excuse the racism that takes place there.

Wow...you know what an exaggeration is?

I never said Xbox Live EXCUSED racism because people areanonymous. Just that it happens for that reason. I never use my headset on Xbox Live, unless I'm in a private party with friends, so it's not like I'm taking part in said racism...All I'm saying is that it's the way of the world right now. Look at any forum, comments on youtube, whatever...It's all the same crap: People hating on eachother.

Hasn't that fat sack of crap been discredited enough times by now that people know he's full of it? I'm all for activism. But Micheal Moore does, and always has only told one side of the story. Don't listen to a thing that guy says...

Hmm...guess you realized it on your own...

Just dont get on the headset. Theres no point in hearing crap from anyone anyway. The only time im on the headset is with my friends in a party. I dont need to hear people play music on the headset, say racial remarks, start singing.. hearing little kids curse every 5 seconds.. couples arguing.. ect ect. I dont play shooters to hear any of that garbage.. i just need the sounds of the game and thats it. Besides.. theres no teamwork involved in a teammatch game so whats the point in talking with strangers if all they care about is their K/D ratio and go past the objectives and flags and dont bother trying to win the game. lol. We all know thats what 90% of the players do anyway. Xtatic324

Well that was kinda obvious wasn't it.

I wasn't making fun of you, nor teasing you. I just wanted to get your eyes open.

I hate sniping. I am a rifle man. You cme in close and i spray you. You run away and i get you on the long pop. My mates like the AK47u. If i feel like being flashy, i nade you or stick you with the crossbow.

And if your better than me. Well i take my hat off to you.

I just hope you realise that my comment was as dumb as yours. Stereotyping is stupid.

Dont you ever think about speaking in spanish on xbox live.

Not for nothing but there are rules for No Racism on Forums.....so there should also be a rule of No discussions of Racism or Topics on Racism allowed too. I'm sick of hearing this he's racist she's racist crap. Who cares if your white, black, blue or green. Come on over to the grey area already that's where I'm at.

I hate playing with British kids now. I tried getting on Rainbow Six Vegas 2 about a year ago and my entire team was British, since it was a team game I was trying to be helpful and calling out enemy positions. As soon as I started talking everyone in the game made it their mission to team kill me over and over and over, calling me yank, wanker, all the other stupid insults in the book. I didn't team kill anyone, or retalliate verbally in any way and the continual team killings continued until I left 40 minutes later, for some reason thinking they would get bored. Needless to say I was very frustrated with my experience.
