I recently signed up for Xbox live because I like online gaming like Dirt or Modern Warfare 2. I confess I have loved video games since Pacman came out. I used to blow a roll of quarters at the arcade easy.
I was shocked to find out that at least in the realm of people playing Modern Warfare 2, racism and racist language is not only present, it flourishes. If you have a weak stomach or are offended by the mere mention of foul language, don't continue reading.
What is sad is that it sounds like many of these people mean it. They say the words with force and emphasis. They query before a match starts if there are any black people on line, as if their presence would deter them from the racist rant they are about to engage in.
