Does this sound racist to you?

Damn...

No wonder there are so many bad stereotypes about potheads. You guys are representing all of them right now.

I'm asking if you think that statement is racist.

So is there anyone on this website that has a fuckin clue what I'm talking about?

I don't know...I'm still trying to find the part about sweat shops...

hahahaha. Just shut up.

i didn't find it racist, i didn't see anywhere in the text that promoted one race over another. There was stereotyping...

That's the first post that actually answered my question. Congratulations, you're not that dumb.

What's happening is more complex than it first seems. What's actually going on is that the VAST majority of the level-3 characters you see playing the game repetitively and not talking to anyone, are actually people from countries such as China and Korea, who are trying to collect RuneScape gold to sell for real world money (obviously against the rules). Some of them aren't even using bots, they are just playing the game very repetitively with a single-minded purpose to collect gold. These people have no interest in playing the game properly, and therefore don't care if they get banned. The final effect is the same, though â?? it spoils the game for everyone else.

We can (and do) ban them - including using IP bans - but they still find ways to make accounts. We seized 6 billion in RuneScape gold by banning real-world traders last week! Unfortunately, these people are obliged to work such long hours and are paid such low wages that if even a tiny fraction of gold makes it to the market, those running the sweatshops will be encouraged to continue. This is why we are now further increasing our efforts.

I don't know if thats necessarily racists, as that is a huge problem...and it's really sad....

I do in a sense find it racists because it kind of seems they are generalizing all Koreans and Chinese are going to do that...

..but in fact I have heard of shit like that happening not even in just those places...but people do it for their personal wealth sometimes and I hear you can make alot of money...

If they claim there are sweatshops that do that in those countries, it is possible ya know? I don't know..

Racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another race or races. It is also the prejudice based on such a belief.

It's somewhat racist (people from China, Korea, etc) but they may be going by IP addresses. Nice of you to stop by and insult everyone.....thanks.

I saw something on MTV about WoW where the chinese gold farmers sit in these single rooms apartments, like 23-30 people in a small room and do absolutely NOTHING but play the game, 24/7, 365 days a year man. It really does seem like sweatshop settings.
