That's what I've been saying to myself these last few games. Still going strong now though. 12 game win streak. The unavoidable loss streak that I'm about to have is going to make me so sad.  | ||

We lane agressive with bane, PA and me as Chen, they should have a decent defensive trilane with lina nyx and void. No : they go nyx mid, lina and void on their safelane. We take the edge easily and after 2 deaths each (they keep pushing without ward when I'm in their woods and bane has sleep to setup), they go feeding mid suiciding to the tower. They had more deaths than minutes into the game :/ ah, I feel your pain. The same thing happened to me recently, but instead of winning and crushing the opponents, my teammates fed and I lose. I can see why you're QQing though | ||

Look at it this way, the majority of hispanic people playing dota 2 are not good, so thinking someone to be bad because they are hispanic is a logical, albeit not correct all the time, progression from this, similar to thinking someone will be bad for not having a lot of wins. It's not truly racism. Edit: Because this has caused a shitstorm, I don't want to derail the thread so I'm replying here, I was suggesting that the majority of hispanic people that say one person has met have been bad so of course that person going to assume the next hispanic person is bad, that's not racist. I meant nothing more, not that all hispanic people are bad. I've never met a hispanic person on Dota but obviously being a game of communication it doesn't help when someone doesn't speak your language. User was warned for this post | ||

It's not truly racism. Uh. Just the statement "the majority of hispanic people playing dota 2 are not good" is racist and indicates a passively racist attitude. Do you have that data? Of course you don't. Much more likely is that the majority of all people playing Dota 2 are not good, it's just that the english-speaking community identifies everyone who isn't them as worse due to ease of targeting, false correlation, confirmation bias, and just good old xenophobia. Never mind that you didn't even know from the original post that the abuse was specifically regarding NasKe's skill at the game. You don't lose anything by admitting it's racist rather than trying to weasel out of it on tiny technicalities that aren't even true. I'm not gonna continue the discussion in this thread because it's guaranteed to derail it but you're not any authority on what the definition of racism is because you haven't studied it, haven't experienced it, and clearly haven't even bothered to listen to people who have; you're simply wrong and the pattern of your trying to deny it is very predictable and boring. | ||
