If I can’t communicate with you, I don’t want to be grouped with you.
We’re wasting each others’ time. Why waste it to begin with?

Did this actually happen? My BS radar is going crazy.

I would suggest you to never visit a twitch stream. Anything happening to allow for a sliver of ridicule of NA (fat person on screen, someone being skeptical of govt, voting for trump, anyone saying they had a bad healthcare experience, and the loads of other mishaps as you have mentioned), and the flood of EU individuals jump on that.
It’s just the nature of having anonymity on the internet and being inherently a miserable person. Report and move on.

America is not the shining beacon of freedom, democracy, morality, enlightenment, etc. that most Americans grew up beliving it was.
Took just one horrible person to burst that bubble.

It’s way more than just the one man you’re referring to, Trump. Obama, Bush, Clinton, Trump, Reagan, Bush Sir, ect, ect,. All horrible men that should be in prison at least the ones that are still alive.

My experience as a German who plays on NA servers and has lived in the United States is basically the same.

Even if the group has different languages, this shouldn’t be an issue. I established i speak more than 1 language. If they’re also able to understand me, than they clearly speak english, or understand it enough to google tragedies in canada.
Anecdotal evidence…
It is racism when you feel the need to mock and insult the person’s geographic location and or people with stereotypes and other derogatory terms directly aimed at them for nothing other than their country, or ethnicity.
The President may be a talking head but they are not a king. Way more cogs responsible for the terrible things that end up happening.

I was taught these were things we should strive for (not that we had already attained them all) but that the US was a place where such dreams were at least possible.
The thing is, every country is populated with human beings, and human beings are not perfect. Therefor, no country is perfect. The only option is to try to do better.

Oh yeah. Guys like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Rahm Emanuel, Carl Rove, and bunch of other bad guys are equally responsible. They should all be locked up.

The last time I was grouped with people from SA I had to use google translate to talk to them
At one point they asked me if I’d eaten crocodile and what it tastes like
I lol’d so hard

Because all too often you can’t communicate with them, which is pretty important when someone is making mistakes and you can’t help them…
Exactly.

you got me, no on earth has ever made a 9/11 joke about the united states or school shooting joke ever. Also don’t check the comment below yours which clearly points out people do that, but it must be in their head.

Were they at least funny jokes? You can make jokes about anything and if they’re funny they’re funny.
Must admit even I’ve made some cracker jokes at the USA expense
Why shouldnt foreigners mock Americans about school shootings? Its clear Americans dont care enough about it to change anything, so they shouldnt get offended when they make jokes about it.
It’s weird, but pretty much all the jokes I’ve ever heard about the US came from Americans.

You’re generalizing an entire population of people based off of your experiences - which is wrong, and I’m not even speaking about any morality here, it’s just factually wrong. There’s no way every player from RAG is like that. My experiences in pugs has been across the spectrum. You get “troll” behavior from everywhere - no one place has the patent on poor behavior. What I’m getting from your post is thinly veiled bigotry. You’re judging an entire group of people based on where they’re from and your very limited (and probably cherry picked) experiences.
Besides, whether the behavior is from RAG or Moonguard or wherever, there are reporting functions. So what was the point of your post again? Oh yeah, race baiting.
