Oh, that's right, whites can't be subjected to racism. Carry on.

No, just saying they're not the ones being shot by cops despite being unarmed, made to remove religious headgear, or being denied jobs for their race, but enough of that, fuck EA.

1. Are you saying no whites that are unarmed get killed by cops? LOL. There was a study by Harvard that shows it 20% less likely a cop would shoot a black man than a white man in the same circumstance. Here is a discussion about it.

2. White's wear religious headgear as well because religion isn't just held for one race.

3. I guess we didn't have a black president or affirmative action to help minorities except if it comes to Asians because fuck rewarding smart people.

I'd rather people would focus on all the other AAA publishers who are doing the exact same thing as EA but still get a free pass because everyone is focusing on EA for some reason.

Because EA's dickishness is much more obvious.

It's not, it's just mentioned more.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Great news!!



The calamity EA

Normally I wouldn't get involved, but all your links referenced one person. Which to me showed that you only looked at 1 source. So to open your mind a little. 

Lets sit down with some statistics first shall we? Proportionally who logically should be the most shot down race in the US? From an objectified point of view, white people. Why? because if you are including hispanics, WHITE PEOPLE make up 76.6% of the population! So as of the US 2017 census  with the population of US sitting at: 325,719,178 that means ~249,500,890 are white. Now lets compare it to black people. Black people are sitting at about 13.4% or ~ 43,646,370. To give you a rough estimate here, but that means for every black person there's 6 whites. 1:6.

With that background knowledge all nice and set up for you, lets dive right into crime statistics shall we?

First shootings: According to statistia (a compiled statistical analysis website from over 20,000 sources) in 2017, 223 black people were shot versus 457 whites. "Damn, more white people were shot! Racism is a lie!" WROOONNNNNNGGG. Lets just compare this number to that old population thingy we outlined earlier. So (223/43,646,370)*100% = 5.1*10^-4% versus whites at 1.81*10^-4%. Stacking that up cause I love ratios, that roughly equates to 3:1. For every white man shot, I got 3 black bodies. <--- HOLY EFF. World we got a problem.

You must be thinking, wait that's probably cause the crimes that black people committed were simply more dangerous. WHELP,NO. So according to the FBI data of 2012, 62.7% of unarmed people killed by police in the US are minorities.

Just to add on to this, here's the homicide death rates in the US by race, as written by CNN

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/23/health/gun-deaths-in-men-by-state-study/index.html

Here is showing you that even with the crimes are exactly the same, black people are punished for it more severely.

The statistics going into hijabs specifically isn't available. Instead I'll be speaking from a muslim perspective, that is apart of my local and city mosque. As well as well informed in my country. So with that being said, regardless of whether white people wore hijabs or toufees you guys weren't forced to racial slurs or physical violence. You weren't told to go back to your home country when you practice a religion. You never faced a lack of job opportunity because you guys are the only ones who get to be who you are. According to a study conducted by both Ryerson and the University of Toronto where researchers sent out almost 13,000 fake résumés to over 3,000 job postings with all the qualifications exactly the same the only difference being name. Somehow or another those with ethnic names were 28% less likely to even be considered for an interview. 28%! that's no coincidence.

What you face as racism, downplays the word. As a race, all other minorities are subjugated to being less, that is true racism.

I think more telling will be the success of Anthem.

Their presentation of Anthem at E3 was atrociously bad. People want Bioware games to have a story. They showed zero emphasis on the story, just random jetpacking arround and shooting so big numbers kept popping up. They couldn't have flubbed it any worse if they tried. There was basically zero hype coming from Anthem, and that's basically the big new IP that EA should have spent all their resources into hyping up. They don't understand their customer base at all.

Yup, bold says it all.

EA is highly investor driven and they simply don't understand their audience. It's apparent in every one of their E3 conferences. They should be hyping us up but instead they're putting us to sleep.

I can't remember the last EA game I bought. A good Star Wars game can change that but so far they've royally screwed up their management of the SW IP.



It will go back up.

Battlefield is around the corner.

The link shows Ben Shapiro citing studies from multiple Universities including Harvard. Again, it's not the crime committed, but the situation the cop is put in. That is the reason why percentage wise there are blacks being killed more by cops.

Here is Stephen Crowder showing those situations for the most famous cases. In fact, he even calls out vox at the beginning. Like Crowder says, not condemning any of the deaths, but showing the context behind the situation which the left media seems to ignore.

Not to mention black cops are just as likely as white cops to kill black suspects.

Whites are subjected to racism just like everyone else. Moral of the story? People are ass holes Here are a few examples

It's only the sports franchises boosting EA at this point imo.

Pretty pathetic when you can't gamers excited to buy Mass Effect, Star Wars, or Battlefield games anymore.

Watch out EA. 2K is will rise again.

Isn't 2K just as bad with microtransactions and loot boxes as EA is though?

You're not wrong.

I think if the two companies had more competition in sports games franchising, we'd see higher quality titles with fewer microtransactions.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Too bad the NFL and FIFA don't allow competition like the NBA and MLB do.
