Pieface Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Well I must say, I've never felt actually like someone has been racist to me in all the years Xbox Live (Inc Original) has been running. Well until today that is. I was playing Skate 2, and winning against 3 Yanks and another brit, they find out that I am from England and seem to swear blindly at me, and make racist remarks about England (Pretty poorly I must say) by telling us we're all Retards, we tried to steal America from them (A country that we discovered for them o_O) and thinking with their amazing geography skills, that everybody is from London, speaks like Hugh Grant, drinks Tea and are gay motherf**kers as they enjoyed puttng it. I know that it is poor, but I really am dissapointed, as Ive played loads of Americans and these 3 (From Virginia I might add) were just swearing at me and the other player from England and just insulted us. So I have decided to name and shame them. - Gamertags Removed - I just wish these people that do like to destory the community would just go away.

Gohan Reborn Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Just like one of the users on this site has in his siggy... Normal Person + Anonymity + Audience = Total Douchebag. I'm suprised that you've been on XBL for so long and haven't dealt with this yet. Throwing stereotypes and racial slurs. Ugh. That's why I'm almost always in a party =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exo-apollo Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Throw them out into the digital thoroughfare and beat their teeth out. Unfortunately that is not an option, so we just have to put up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cacky Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 This has happened to me numerous times, I love the fact that they say we should go and eat some crumpets when many Brits dislike crumpets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Ridley Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 It shows how ignorant some people are, that they don't even know anything about Britain. They seem to think we are all British, all eat crumpets, none of us brush our teeth, etc. etc. There are a million ways I could insult the USA, but I don't, even when they insult me. I just laugh at their pathetic insults and hope that one day they will die a very horrific, painful, slow, but very satisfying death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Seriously, where have you been for the last 5 years. I have encountered this hundreds of times which is why I don't bother with the mic unless I'm in party chat. It work both ways though as half of the time the "British" start it. It's always gonna be there so you'll just have to live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get that upset about some name calling that you wish them to die, you really shouldn't be on XBLive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Ridley Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I wish almost everyone to die, so whatever. If I don't like you, I wish you were dead, simple as. Oh and I don't get upset over name calling, I just dislike the people who do it. I've been insulted a lot in my life that now I just giggle.

FourChan Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I don't usually get mad unless someone is using cheap tactics like in GOW2, chainsaw chainsaw chainsaw, but mostly it's a rant like, "Why you spend 60 dollars for one weapon?

I find people like that all the time and they are a disgrace to our country. They're just little kids and/or they don't know what the f*** they're talking about. I have witnessed plenty of British or Irish/American fights and all of them involved some idiots that don't know what they're saying. There are idiots everywhere, no matter what country. But even though I am American myself I would have to say I've seen more idiots from the U.S. than from any other country.

Innsomnni Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 At the school which I am at, many of the people have Xbox Live. If there is ever an English/American mic war, the Americans are seem to leave. The last one I witnessed, the only good insult the American could come up with is ''Well... Your name is Chris!'' It kind of tells you about mic war originality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
