maninthewall 470 Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) So yesterday, me, my friend and Daz, who I met in game, were going to play DayZ. I had looted the NE/AF, got myself a SKS (I don't normally use rifles, since people will have a higher chance of killing you due to the rifle being a big threat.) I ran up to the unnamed town and I met someone with a M4 rifle. He didn't shoot me, but he ran when he saw me trying to run up and communicate with him, because I didnt see the M4 on his back. I never shoot at sight unless they're pointing a gun at me, or already shooting. I got contact with him, and we started talking. His english wasn't very good, or maybe it was his mic lagging. We were in the garages near the supermarket, and I took a shot. I was hit in the back probably, but I didnt go unconcious. My backpack was ruined, and so was all the food.To make a long story short, shorter than it is, we sat in the garage for a while. Later moved around the town, and inside a house, I felt that I could trust him.. Which you should never do, but it doesnt matter. I gave him my magnum with 12 rounds for it. He didn't shoot me, thank you if you're reading this. We went down to Svetlojarsk, and we met another guy, his mic was bad too, unfortunately. Now we were three guys, and I felt we could trust them both, we ran down the shipwreck to meet my friend I was skyping with. Nothing really happened, we were now 4 guys. We went into Berezino, because my friend Daz was joining and I expected him to spawn there. There was a lot of deathmatching in Berezino as usual. We were 4 guys as I said, and this black character runs up to us, not sure if his native language is English, but I could understand him.He kept yelling "Oh my god this is the biggest group ive seen, are you a group? Holy crap!"We talked for a sec, then I suggested he would come with us, he was happy and excited to come. I think he was new to DayZ.We ran up to the ship, towards Svetlojarsk actually where Daz had spawned, so we had sort of ran the wrong way. Daz met us, the current group of 5 players at the shipwreck, on the road where it crosses a railroad. Everyone of us 6 were hungry and I suggested we'd run up to Krasnostav, since the coast is looted, and we had to run through the airfield first. The black guy kept talking, and talking, and since we were all white characters, he complained about how we were all racist. I wasnt sure if he was joking, or just mentally challenged. I asked Daz in steam chat that if he found anyone misbehaving, he should tell me. He said "The black guy is annoying". I didn't reply. Since I was leading the whole group, I didn't really wanna put any pressure on anyone, or him.He kept on talking, contantly, I'm not sure if he was talking to himself or not. We were running up the mountain, after he had drunk in the Black Lake, towards Oshla. The black guy said that it was racist since you can choose a black character in the game in the first place. Daz answered him, with an annoyed voice, that it would be racist to not have the option to choose from a black character. I had enough of him, no one else in the group really said anything towards him, or answering his meaningless talking.He was quiet for about 5 seconds, then he said "I don't care, you're all racists, racists. Okay come on let's go - "I raised my SKS quickly, shot him in the back. No doubts of shooting him. I heard some of the guys in the group say "Finally". Daz said that he would only give our position away if he kept on talking. We later got killed at the airfield, all of us. Atleast me, Daz and my friend in skype. I hope the other two guys survive that a**hole in the prison at NE/AF...I'm wondering if I'd do the same if he was white..Maybe I should have told him to shut the **** up? TL;DR: I shot the only black guy from our group in the back because he was talking. Edited April 20, 2014 by ManInTheWall 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1217 Posted April 20, 2014 Was this on experimental? If so that might of been me at neaf who killed you all.Also, by the story it sounds like he was annoyong and you arent racist. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maninthewall 470 Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Was this on experimental? If so that might of been me at neaf who killed you all. Yes, we told the person in the prison (if that's you) that we wanted him to come out, and I asked why you shot our friend (Daz). He said he was scared because he saw five guys coming towards him. We stood outside the prison for a while, trying to get you out. We weren't gonna shoot anyway. We agreed that we were gonna leave, but the door to the prison was open so my friend tried to close the (the guy in skype), and he was shot. I ran back away from the prison, because my group was running that way. I didn't wanna run that way, but I felt that I didnt wanna split the group. I looked behind me with ALT, looking in the bottom floor room in the prison. Saw his head for quarter of a second the BAM. You are dead. If that's you, you're quite an ass :P Edited April 20, 2014 by ManInTheWall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knock (DayZ) 111 Posted April 20, 2014 You're not racist. It sounds like he was annoying the shit out of you, so no. Hell, the player might've not even been literally black. Sounds like he was just being stupid. I don't see how it's a big deal anyways... and yeah, I'd think you'd do the same if his character was white. I've never seen a person discriminate about who gets a bullet in the brain based on their skin color in DayZ. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scriptfactory 620 Posted April 20, 2014 You aren't racist if you shoot a black guy because he is annoying. You are probably racist if you wouldn't have shot a white character in the same situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl 986 Posted April 20, 2014 Not more racist then the average hollywood movie, the black guy always dies first :) But, to be clear: I am a white guy and I play with a black character regularly...because a dark face won't show as easily in the grass as a white face...just being practical. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted April 20, 2014 No, sounds like he had the issues, based on a computer game. I doubt there are that many Females playing DayZ either, so does that make most players sexist? or transgendered? He chose his player probably on his cultural leanings, you and your team could have made the situation a lot worse by bullying him while he was in your team (Good to know you didnt) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1217 Posted April 20, 2014 Im female, but your right we are a minority group, but whilst playing exp didnt notice any different treatment from my male friends either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetapoliC 263 Posted April 20, 2014 Are you asking others if you are racist or not? Are you serious man... It is a game and you may be everything you want. I will give zero f. if you would be killing black skinned guys in this game only, because it is - a g a m e 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NagsterTheGangster 388 Posted April 20, 2014 Well, annoying is annoying no matter your color....But if you're thinking in your head if you would have or not if he was white.....you *might* be a teensy-weensy bit racist.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odin_lowe 3686 Posted April 20, 2014 No, you're not racist. Also, players in-game using "Afro-American" characters might not be Afro-American themselves. By common logic, we can't treat pixels as humans. In the end, if we were really a modern society, we would know the obvious that there's no such thing as "racism" within our own race : The Human race. It's just intolerance in front of differences. A lack of respect for others, no matter where they come from on the planet. No, you're not racist. That player was annoying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scriptfactory 620 Posted April 20, 2014 No, you're not racist. Also, players in-game using "Afro-American" characters might not be Afro-American themselves. By common logic, we can't treat pixels as humans. "Playing a violent video game as a black character reinforces harmful stereotypes that blacks are violent," study co-author Dr. Brad J. Bushman, a professor of communication and psychology at the university, said in a written statement. "We found there are real consequences to having these stereotypes -- it can lead to more aggressive behavior."Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/25/video-games-racise-linked-white-gamers_n_5023453.html There is a correlation between the race of video game avatars and player perception/behavior. The human brain responds to video game stimuli in a similar way to real life. So, while a video game probably won't make you racist, your actions in video game are probably affected by your pre-existing racial bias. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tobias winfro 305 Posted April 20, 2014 I see no part of your story that shouts racist unless you or your friends were running around shouting racial slurs at the guy, I would say no. Bullets give 0 fucks about someone's skin color and if he was that annoying, I would've popped his ass too and I'm African American.... yeah yeah black on black crimes I know. Don't fool yourself African american can be just as racist as any other ethnic group 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plexico 386 Posted April 20, 2014 I am pretty sure you already know the answer to that, no idea why you made a whole post about it. A simple google of the definition of racism will tell you that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
over9000nukez 199 Posted April 20, 2014 its not racist, he's just being an asshole, some people who have african decent do this, SOME the minority of african people do this, they pull the race card on people, or say really stupid things, some sue families that owned their great great great great great great great grandfather's as slaves, some have some sort of thought that all white people are against them and we gave a select few sickle cell. I would have shot him no matter what, and i guess you would to, dont think about it too much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
