If you want to talk strictly about definitions, racism refers to the belief that one race is superior to another. What you described is a stereotype. | ||

To write off racism as some unique Polish issue while ignoring it happening all around you is both insulting to Poles and disgustingly ignorant of the state of the "developed world" he gets to live in. | ||

I also have a view, albeit not supported by any evidence, that the social security and general welfare of the UK is a LOT lower than many western european countries. Being from scandinavia, I was a bit shocked with the state of some areas of London. Did not expect to see such things in the "developed world". Still love England though, mostly for the football  | ||

If he threw banana peels at people, he'd be hypocritical. The fact that it happens in other western European countries makes him factually wrong, not hypocritical. There's a difference. | ||

It might be only a slight nitpick, but it's something he should work on improving. | ||

Even though profanities and vulgar language are common in this scene and industry in general, professionalism is a huge part of how people, both knowledgeable about esports and Starcraft and not, perceive the industry, and well-prepared, professional questions must be constructed. This doesn't mean the interviewee can't use them, because it's the person of interest, but if you want to portray a professional analysis and conversation with a "celebrity", you shouldn't swear. i disagree, to get the best, most insightful interview, you mirror the subject of the interview. as a quick example, try speaking the queen's english in an interview with Alan Iverson and see what level of insight you get. the Naniwa interview was a very insightful interview partially because of how well the intervewer mirrored his subject and made him feel relaxed so that he could open up about a lot of topics. | ||

I only say this stuff because I obviously love the game and the community, otherwise I wouldn't care. But the community and game are beautiful and at the same time disgusting. But why does my opinion matter anyway... It's not like mine is important or something.. but maybe some people will listen and try to make the game and community better. Maybe even the mods would listen.. They ban people at a moment's notice when somebody complains about TL or balance, yet a few posts up a guy is fucking threatening violence on somebody else and there's nothing because the community has picked these two to hate on and complain about. I'm not surprised Naniwa and others, maybe Taeja (although I don't know if this is really what he feels) are fed up with the game and the community. | ||

Always as refreshing to hear Naniwas honesty, not only about most things, but also about himself! He really stands out among all the programers, he is a true analyser with honesty and and tries to deal with pure truth. | ||
