Poll: Races of PSO players?

[PlatinumGame]

I for one am black. To me it seems my race is a minority in the world of PSO. I would just like to know who else here is black or to be politcally correct Afican American. Also if you are not a mainstream race in PSO and consider your race a minority, what are you and have you met any other people your race?

I have no problems with any race at all. I'm just curious. Thanks for in participating my poll. ^_^

[PlatinumGame]

Mmmmk. Looks like we have some people here that are scared to tell their true race because they feel they will become a outcast of pso society. T_T^ Or maybe everyone here is just............

[TeamPhalanx]

It could just be that there aren't that most players are caucasian...

If you wanna talk about being a minority, female PSO players are probably the least common.

[Alisha]

well im a black female(gasp 2 minorities in 1) but if you wanna get technical im mullatto(black+white)

[TIERREN]

Heh I been wondering who else around here is black Thats cool. I dont know a lot of ppl here that is African-American. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_cool.gif

[Wewt]

I R CHINESE@@@@@@ http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Or in some other way of saying it..AzNbOi

[Ness]

I for one am mixed. I am half black and half white. Which is cool because I get to experience two cultures at once!

[Ina]

Chinese desu, born in HK(Macau actually), living in England at the mo >_<. Ive met quite a few HK ppl in PSO, but the experience isnt that great, its like 'chicken talking to duck'. in another word, they dont get what I'm saying, nor do I understand what they r saying. so I actually prefer playing with english-speaker players

Yeah! I know what you mean...when they speak in Cantonese using english letters X_x

It's kinda fun to play around on the Japanese language setting...I can find a few words in Chinese http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Why does race matter, especially in a videogame?

It doesn't matter really... the starter of the thread was just curious.

[Souljah]

Im half lybian and half japanese. Quite a mix

[Darrin]

Since Japan made the game, White colored skin is more common. I was in Korea and it was populated with asian people with black hair. Its a proven fact. The only reason they dont have black hair is if they die it. My cousin is in Korea and has bright orange hair because is in a singing group. Im not saying a race is better or something like that Im just trying to say my words carfully because I for one HATE racism.

[DarthWufei]

I'm like 1/4 black and 3/4 white. Hehe. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

It doesn't, that's why I rarely answer questions about race/gender/age. Only thing I care about is whether or not you're legit http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Yosho]

eh.?! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

[PlatinumGame]

Man, do not go off topic in my topic. Nobody asked you to tell us all about your hair color. Who cares who made the game? Osama Bin Laden could have made the damn game but doesn't mean terrorists or people who wear turbans play it or doesn't mean that they are the majority of players.

To the guy who said what does race matter, what in the world made you post that waste of space? We all know it doesn't matter, I said I'm just curious. God!!!

Let the posting resume..... T_T^

[TeamPhalanx]

First off, this topic is really a waste of space.

This is also an open topic. In other words, the users can say whatever the hell we want.

[PlatinumGame]

If you have nothing worth saying or something against me or my posts, why not just ignore them? All I have is a simple question and yet people who don't want to answer have to tell the world that they don't like this topic.

[Strider_Gren]

1/3 black 2/3 white

And here's a thought...the only REAL "blacks" are Africans because most african Americans are "Brown".

[PlatinumGame]

Well thank you for the that great insight. Not all african americans are "brown". I'm more of a hmmm "tan"....T_T^

[donkeybeatz]

like uhh WWWWWWWWWWWW there...
I'm a yellow skinned asian guy.
except I'm 1/2 viet and 1/2 namese =)

Oh, you mean just like how you ignored Spy's comments? All he did was ask a simple question.

[PlatinumGame]

I did not ignore him. W answered his question and it was clearly stated in the original post that I am just curious.

People, no one is forcing you to agree with my topics, posts, and me in general. If you don't like them, just ignore them.

Hello people.

I must say, I do like the idea of making important words bold.

Hey, I just went off-topic, in your topic!!!

Sheesh, what you gonna do about that?!

[PlatinumGame]

Ok,I tried to be civil and since you highly intelligent people have no regard for the people that have intrest in this topic. I dedicate this image to you.

To a mod, please be ever so kind to close this topic. As of now it has been raped by attention whores.

[haterade]

Heh... I kinda figured some bullshit would go on in this topic... race questions seems to make some mu'f*ckaz jumpy for some reason...as for the question, I'm black. I still find it funny when an asian guy looks at me in shock after whuppin' his ass in Street Fighter....lol

[GhoStar]

http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_cry.gif

Name-calling is immature and should not be condoned!

It is you who is at fault now!

Next to the pic Wata posted up a while ago (You are Gay!), GhoStar killed it with this one he put up...lmao indeed!

Oh, and in the gaming world, race doesn't matter. I'm out to kill/be better than any set of polygons, no matter what colour person is controlling them.

[Alisha]

heh thats funny phalnax because i played with you at least 3 times now and the only thing legit about my chars is there levels stats and a few weapons =P

[HC82]

If you think about it alot of the HUnewearls you see are dark skinned. Also people role play as different characters (DBZ, FF, PS).

I don't think PSOs population can depecit anything.

Also As time passes many people will "inter marry" so to speak. As a result trying to classify your "race" with fractions and percntages is IMO pointless.

If your born in america your an america. If you want to go indepth as to your cultural roots, thats something else.

I think how the media portays race in America is at times is racial retarded.

I remeber when they were trying to classify Tiger Woods nationality(not racial roots)....with all these fucking percents and shit. Idiotic, hes born in America so hes American.

I've met one true legit while playing PSO v2... As long as the other player doesn't have a ridiculous % weapon and such, it doesn't bother me that much. Besides, most of the time we met online was on Scan_Kid's team.

[GhoStar]

Hmmmm, GhoStar, I felt this was perfect for you...

Kid, you don't want to get in a pic war with me. So if you would be as kind to, err.... stop!

DON'T MAKE THIS GET UGLY!
