Fork rider you dont live in the U.S. do you? I do, and what he stated is correct. there is no way to use the word "nigger" and not be in trouble. You always lose your job or anything else. Additionally, black people can use "nigga" at free reign, while if a white guy does it, again, you're likely to lose everything, because you're either seen as racist or mocking black people. There is no way to say "nigger" and not lose your job, unless you use it while describing it as a word someone else used, and even then most people who are reporting on it say "the n-word", because of the fear. Social outrage will cause people to lose jobs over it, even if a person uses it in an explanatory case of what another person said, like the news. it's just not worth it. On the other hand, people don't seem to understand that that much social pressure can get people fired and change the course of companies in the consumer world, so thats why they don't use it in sc2 to fix the game before hots, (like getting lan). | ||

Before he realized there is a potential career option for pro gaming, he just didn't care about other people and showed his "true" self through ladder and streams. But after you realize that there are many opportunities that lie in this esports scene, you realize these behaviors are unacceptable. However, only through harsh consequences like this you truly regret and apologize for what you have done. I can feel the sincerity of this post, he honestly didn't see this kind of uproar incoming. Unfortunately, it was after too late. And that's what happened, I think. | ||

Anyway, I always thought that they give -Orb- another chance, I like him and these should be regarded as making a silly mistake and letting him have one more chance. Also its a lesson that is learnt through mistakes. | ||

We live in a society of double standards, its how America runs. Unfortunately, orb is not black, so he does not have free reign to say nigger whenever he wants to. | ||

White people can say cracker and black people can say nigger and not be racist. It would be a double standard if white people could say both words and blacks could not, that would be a double standard. | ||

They all call me cracker, whity, vanilla, and nigga in disguise(because Im 6ft4). And Im ok with it. tbh we are 2012. It amuses me that the n-word problem still exists at this point in time. | ||

The only way you're going to get people to stop saying it is by forcing them to do it, and I personally was under the impression that Fascism ended in 1945. | ||
