I'm black, and I get alot of racism thrown my way on X-box live, especially on Halo 2. Once they hear my voice, I get insults, called the N word, and any other racist thing you can think of. I never get pissed, sometimes it's even funny, but it really gets annoying cause its constantly happening. Good thing it won't be a problem in Brawl though.

I don't see the point of filters anyways since you can always get around them. It just makes having a conversation with people in MMORPG's a lot more difficult. (I'm looking at you, Maplestory, blocking every other message I type ¬¬.)

ok we know that you're racist against blacks.....SMASHBOARDS knows it....you don't have to keep posting little things like this....loser
What are you talking about? I love black people! Every time I see one who's made it in the real world, I tell them "You must make the black community so jealous!"

You win at racism.

But really, why is this thread made if we don't know a thing about our opponents?

EDIT: God Dam*, you edited the post i quoted fu*k.

Why cant we all just get along?
Exactly racism should mean nothing in a modern world based on science and rationale. We are the same species as defined by our ability to inter-breed and produce fertile offspring so there really is no need for racism beyond vanity.

I can't believe this topic even got made. Only went downhill from there. I'm a comedian, have to handle acts like this every time I sit through a night of acts. I have friends from most every nationality I can name, live in both a sheltered white suburb and an urban mixing pot, this topic ends up in my thoughts daily. Between idiots trying to be gangsta' when their parents drive a Prius, idiots hating other idiots for being idiots, idiots trying to be funny about it, and now idiots playing an online game that doesn't even have a chat function...When there isn't even a character that can be described as a real alternate nationality...

Right about the time some one suggested not playing as Donkey Kong to avoid the black comments (I say black because I once called a Jamaican African American), I really hoped this topic was a joke that went wrong.

There is no such thing as "races."
But there's the "Race to the Finish" stages in Smash Bros. WILL THEY come to brawl?

Also, with the possible return of Captain Falcon, WILL pedophilia come to Brawl?

This topic hasn't been closed because it was started by a white dude. And Mic's got a soft spot for white dudes. I'm from south america so i get a special license to be racist.

Since you obviously cannot tell, communicate, or distinguish opponents online, why the hell would this be a problem?

It won't be unless for some reason they do allow us to communicate with each other in some way besides the taunt.

My question exactly, except I know the answer.

It won't, and this topic is stupid.
