EPTDon't even get my started on Orb. I was so psyched to see him on EG. T_T
Okay, okay, enough tears, we have games to watch. Let us just keep Terry the Intern in our hearts while we watch some sick TvT.

Saying "here's a black guy in the audience, that's unusual" is the same as implying that someone playing badly in SC2 is a "dumb n***er", implying that he must be black because he' stupid? There's a reason that not every crime is given the same sentence, because some things aren't as serious as others. There's talking about race, and there's racism. Terry did #1, Orb was #2. Talking about race isn't automatically racist... | ||

The SC2 community is predominately represented by "white people" and those of Asian descent and it's been like that since the beginning. What if he approached a guy without a leg and asked "How do you feel being only amputee in the crowd" But it is true that the statement on twitter was enough, they went overboard with it and made it even worse | ||

It's a fact and everyone knows it. Terry just pointed it and got fired for "being racist" lol American big companies trying too hard to be politically correct and epic failing. | ||

If the guy was offended then fine but the level of political correctness is beyond stupid ...at which point you are directly putting pressure on "the" (read: all) black people to not be offended, because that would ruin the fun. they are supposed to shut up and take it. you say "if the black guy was offended, then fine," but if the black guy ever said he was offended--which would be going out on a tremendous limb for him--then you would lambast him instead. so immediately this guy, who did nothing, has to either acquiesce to the demands of a faceless white audience, or he has to become a villain. and either way it becomes objectification, because you are using him as a litmus test for racial relations, reducing an Actual Human Being to an aspect of his character in order to justify your social beliefs. should he be subject to this entire game of projection and vanity from a nerd mob just because he felt like watching some starcraft today? | ||

Well orb raged at people on ladder and called them the N word intending to be offensive to the other player. Terry had no such malicious intent | ||
