Accent=racism!

[ZippyDSMlee]

Racism is what you make of it, its just words you give it power when you re shocked and sadden by it..... when you should really be shocked and sadden by the stupidity....

This is exactly how I feel about it, you only be offended by something that you identify with and are ashamed of. That goes for any word.

Mmmmm people are to quick to focus on words and not context then get their nose out of joint over mere slights or stereotyping these days. We as a society are more likely to btch and whine over inane stuff and over look the more substantive stuff...

Firstly, racism is bad and to start hating on someone for their accent really just shows how stupid people are. However, I hear all this talk about retards on mw2 and I gotta say it must just be on xbox because I've been playing quite a bit lately on ps3 without running into more than one or two people throwing insults like that. There's been several people who needed muting but that's because they were playing music or singing with their voice pitch turned up to "chipmunk".

you do realise that the proper slag for and irish man is a paddy right?

"Paddy" is a British slang word for Irish.Americans tend to use "Mick" instead

I too have gotten shit in the past for being Irish but you just gotta ignore it dude.Or mute them if it bothers you that much

ah im sorry to hear about this, i like listening to the different accents from other cultures!

sad to say im ashamed of my dumbass american people who bash on others for being different...hell i hate it actually, i have NO accent (my location has been rated the best and most proper 'american' english in the world) , so i would kill to have a cool accent like some people i hear on occassions, its sad that most people refer to turning off their mic's because of dumbasses..

if anything, they should be jealous, they dont have such a rich background compared to some of them, shoot im jealous, but not gonna get all NERDDD rage about it

Chicks dig accents. I should know, I am one.

So how is that working out for you? Do you find it difficult to live only as a disembodied voice or does it free you from the normal constraints of life and society?

Oh, definitely the latter. And like I said, I get all the ladies.
...don't think about that too much.
