Just wondering what the ethnic background of AR consists of. Can't remember if a poll like this has been done before, but I think it has.

Anyway, humor me... Twisted Evil

There are 3 asians eh? I already know 2 of the 3, hahah. Should be at least 2 Latinos too. Maybe one French/black as well, judging from all of my friends who play. And one sasquatch, almost forgot.

By the way, not all Latinos consider themselves Hispanics, and find it offensive to be categorized as Hispanic. I'm not one of them, but I'm just letting you know in case you ever call an angry, politically motivated Latino a Hispanic.

I assume this was supposed to be an ironic comment upon the usual public perception of minorities as being far more violent than your average white person. If so, well, I make similar jokes all the time.

No, it just means you don't know your AR history very well. The greatest pkers on AR have been predominantly asian (predominantly Chinese [predominantly from Mainland]). Read: Ramod... and I don't know anyone else, Morbith (?). Kalist, that fuckers in BC, he's gotta be Chinese...

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't consider that Davairus could have meant that. And by the way, I do know my AR history pretty well, considering how I've been playing since AR first got up and running Smile

I don't see how a violent or even aggressive nature necessarily translates into pk success anyway. Aggression will get you to start the fight (and initiation does help), but doing the actual fighting and winning is a matter of tactics, mastery of the mechanics and system, quick thinking, etc.

Slade: I know, which is why I assumed it had to be an ironic comment, because anyone who actually thought that it could translate into pk success would not only be a racist but pretty moronic. And Davairus is a pretty smart guy, I can tell. I probably shouldn't have brought it up, considering the obviousness of it. It just threw me a bit, since I tend to be what one might call "sensitive" to potentially racist remarks, which this wasn't.
