Gaming scribblenauts racist?

[crook]

the people who see everywhere racist stuff should get a life

One more thing, if you are white and live in America, you owe one thing to your fellow black man. You owe it to them to understand and remember our nation's racial history. America has come such a long way in such a short period of time, don't let the hatred relapse.

OH BOY BETTER GET OVERLY SENSITIVE ABOUT SHIT THAT DOESN'T MATTER

Wow. This thread really brings the KKK members out of the woodwork. Newsflash: "Sambo" IS a racial slur. Even if it has other definitions, saying otherwise is rewriting history. Watermelons were fed to black slaves because they kept slaves hydrated, watermelons were branded "n*ggerapples." Yeah, linking those two isn't racist at all. This might have been a mistake, but SOMEONE should have caught it, don't give me this ignorance bologna. Ignorance doesn't maintain racial harmony, so why are you guys so interested in turning a blind eye? Go put on your hoods. Or better yet, get a history book.

wikipedia on "sambo"

Watermelons: a slave food

Well, I think that in this thread, most people are honest when they say they don't know Sambo as a racist word.
But you'll agree that this is a coincidence, pretty clumsy, but a coincidence. With all the words in the game, I guess it's not that easy to find all the stuff that can be interpreted as racist.

people need to just get over it already...i'm in no way a racist person but if people let stupid things like racial words affect their lives they just make the whole racism thing stronger. if people could only just learn to ignore them rather then acknowledge them.

ROFL, thats a retated word to count as rasist, it's slang for a sandwich :/, if i'm not mistaken, but that not important, someone had to know it could cause offence, so that statments is a blant lie.

Also can some one explain why it rasist ?

Do a google image search for 'sambo'

Scribblenauts also claims that Jews and Muslims are not to be trusted with firearms. I created a rabbi, a mullah and a vicar and it would only let me arm the vicar. Christian supremacist fuckers.

When I was a kid in the 70's i had a pet goose called Sambo.

He was white, interestingly enough.

Now I'm concerned that I may in actual fact unconciously be a racist

But why is it ok for african-americans to refer to each other as "n****" but not ok for anyone else to do so?





It's all bollocks - grow a skin people.

Ignoring racist words doesn't do anything. The person who said them is still being malicious and hateful, and by ignoring them, they suffer no repercusions, and have no reason to stop. I'm white as can be, and I still kicked a friend out of my car 3 weeks ago for using the "N" word. It shouldn't be tolerated.

Lol, I wonder what's wrong with people, saying that everything is racist. It's just like that time with Animal Crossing Wild World. Some sheep says the N word and people made a huge fuss out of it. I mean come on, so can I say that chocolate is racist, or vanilla is racist?

So you are saying that you don't see the problem with a video game (mostly geared twards kids) has a character (or sheep) in there calling people the N word? Boy I'm telling you some of you are sick.

I hope most of you are just young and ignorant. It's either that or you are white and therefore you don't care about things being racist because it's not targeting you.

 

[ca_michelbach]

Surely calling someone racist is also some form of discrimination lol

And the game isn't racist...i mean, if you type gypsy you expect the game to summon a gypsy not some white guy in a suite, it seems like someone was trying to hit a huge news story but it's just made them seem petty.

 

[Shuny]

There's no racism there, seriously ... That's like the Resident Evil case : You could freely shoot white people in every RE game, but when developers decided to inserted black zombies in their game, it was RACISM.

T_T.

FYI, there is more racism towards white people from black people these days, so the only thing I can say is fuck those guys. The problem is, is that racist black parents teach their black children to hate the white man, they spend their days hating the white man, and in turn get hate from the white man.

People just want to "please" black people by not being "racist", because they know there's no limit to how far they can be prosecuted for something that isn't really a crime, just the fact that governments feel guilty. If everybody was just allowed to get it out of their system, and the majority of black people stopped trying to be "gansta", there would be no racism.

Scribblenauts also claims that Jews and Muslims are not to be trusted with firearms. I created a rabbi, a mullah and a vicar and it would only let me arm the vicar. Christian supremacist fuckers.

Maybe it's trying to say that Christians are crazy violent sociopaths, whilst Jews and Muslims both enjoy peace.

There's so much ignorance and wrong in your whole post right here. You are so off.

For crap sake the word wasn't even in the game. It was in a particular save file that happened to be released accidentally. Saying AC is racist is like saying Pokemon is obscene because one person decides to name the rival character Penis.

I just wish we could all be as understanding and tolerant as the Muslim community is towards Christianity and the Western World in general.........

Why do we care? It's just like you guys are the people who try to make people not use gay as an adjective for something dumb. The word is dead and played out and obviously meant something different.
