I hear things like how a lot of Americans don't even know who George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were. How is that even possible, they're printed on our money lol... | ||

Politically correctness has fucked up this world Agreed I'm glad people have already picked up on how retarded Serejai's 'racist' point was. Political correctness really has gone too far these days and shit like racism just gets yelled when its not even relevant. Racism is discriminating based on colour/nationality or hating, stereotyping is assuming something about someone based on their colour/nationality. | ||

Remember that time when Serejai made a joke and everyone attacked it for the entirety of the thread because the satire was too subtle? | ||

Racism is judging someone according to his/her race (hence the word... race-ism), which OP was doing, not that it was malicious or generally offensive or anything. He's not judging, he's assuming he knows starcraft >< Basically what you say is his post was racist but not in a malicious or offensive way. I didn't knew racism could be like that, but as I said ealier, nowadays everyone is racist. Antiracism is going so far (it's a business now so it has to create racism to thrive) nowadays that it's a new form of racism. | ||

I'm Korean and have been asked about sc2...not so much broodwar. 'tis a pity. I'm like Jadeong? They're like, yeah he's alright. I'm like golden mouse? They're like what's that? I'm like Flash? They're like, yeah he's alright but meh. I'm like Bisu? They're like who? I'm like Stork? They're like, oh he's in Korea somewhere right but he sucks? ...Then I'm like what's a lurker? And they're like people who just scan forums? And I'm like you blaspheming newb go die. Then they're like chill it's sc2 not bw. Then I punch 'em in the face, say gg no re, and never talk to 'em again. Nowadays I just say I've heard of it but don't follow the scene much. The conversation usually just ends as "oh...cool." I prefer it that way. And everyone in Korea knows about BroodWar/SC2. If they don't, then they're weird and you shouldn't like 'em. Edit: Unless they're like 6 or 60 years old. Everything else in between counts though. | ||

It was in the middle of talking about sc though, not a random question out of the blue. He said something like, "some boxer plays starcraft?? So?" | ||
