Sick of seeing racism/xenophobism online..

[another_jakhole]

I have had only one run in with racism/nationalism online gt5, and it just so happend to be someone from spain. I was singled out after a crash he was involved in from the start and I was collected as a result of people trying to pass others slowing for an accident. I was called a "stupid american redneck" who "can't drive" cause I'm "a stupid white american". I was born and raised in california with mexican roots from both sides of my family. I wasn't too offended but it was rude of him to continue sending me hate messages after he was kicked from the room that I was not host to.

A guy was going the wrong way on Tsukuba, I try to maneuver out of the way, and the Spanish guy behind me in an LMP crashed into my '02 Silvia. I park out out of the way on the grass and wait a few seconds to get started again, and the prick started following and crashing into me. I couldn't believe that a person could be such a duck.

Honestly, this happened two days ago and I'm mostly playing offline.

Maybe GT5 is not the correct game for you...

I've seen this happen to others and myself a bunch of times. Usually British, german and Spanish people who speak in a derogatory manner towards people with other nationalities and then kick them.

If you are such..you should label your room "euro only" or german only, whatever country you feel is superior.

I hate wasting time joining a room, setting up a car, going to race and getting kicked because my flag isn't euro. It's a shame people like these exist.

Label your rooms, please

I don't care if you're racist or whatever you are, But I do care about my time.

I have the same problem as you
bt I have italian flag

I don't see a problem here. I kick euro's from my rooms all the time. I want to race against aus/nz only. That doesn't make me a racist and if some random spaniard kicks me I won't sook about it.

internet is serious business

ahhha you are that guy
you have to be more polite 👍

Its funny cause I was born in UK so I got the UK flag even though I'm not exactly british (more jamaican).
All the UK players let me into there rooms and as soon as I mention I'm jamaican or black I usually get kicked or into a racist argument.

stupid people
sry for you
I like jamaica

It's a good thing that :edit -: Britain has Michael Caine and James Bond?, and Spain has Lucas Ordonez and Rafael Nadal
( I'm an idiot). Otherwise, they'd be in real trouble


riverfiver, no double or triple posting. Use that multi-quote bubble icon next to the "Quote" button when you reply to multiple posts. And use proper grammar. And don't forget to drink your milk. And brush your teeth.

I've gotten kicked for being black once.

That's when I limited online playing to GTPlanet clubs, where people don't care at all where you're from, what you look like, or whether your 13 or 93 years old.

What like jimmy savile

 

[grashopper]

Talk about a necro

People complain if you don't use the search function and post something again and they complain if you do search because it's old.
Never understood that...

@ GranTurismo916, we care in the opposite regard, where you're from. We'll try to make the different timezones work, for example.


But, may I ask, how did the other players find out about your skin colour?

The sound and tones that vocal cords produce can be a giveaway.

A hundred years from now...maybe not as much. Who knows?
