i get what you're saying, op. i'm assuming you're from the us and will use that lens when i say that our culture is so completely steeped in racism - much of it casual racism that many folks don't even notice - that it just sort of seeps in and gets lodged deep in your mind. marinate in something long enough, and even if you don't personally feel that way, it just gets stuck. then, it comes out in ways that make you think 'wtf. that's not me. where is this coming from.' and, though i'm not familiar with the game, i could see how it'd be a catalyst. it appears to be about war, and there's little as racialized as war. we have (or people just do, because that's the way they feel) to other the enemy, and a shorthand for doing that is a slur.

so, you know, realize that shit is buried deep and get a handle on it. don't challenge it, and you are the racist asshole the rest of this thread says you are.

Really, it's just that the US is so good at Othering, that the OP is using racism as a tool to feel more part of a group. He is Part of His Team because he is Against the Other Team.

It's pretty fucked up, OP, that you can so easily engage in that. You're the sort of person warmongers wet themselves over, so eager to shit on others to feel like you belong. You'd make the perfect soldier.
