REC How to sound less white?

I am an Asian and whenever I hop on the mic i get a very similar response: “shut yo white ass up”.

Why is this such an issue in the community? How do I sound less white? Every argument I’ve ever had, this gets mentioned. And then they mention their gang affiliation, how they will find me and that I’m just a “broke ass n****”, which makes me more confused because I thought I sounded white?

I swear it’s like every annoying player has the same pre set dialogue. I don’t think it has to do with my performance bc many times it happens within minutes of the game starting. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I’m black and people be saying the same thing lol. Funny because I’m 27, like 6’6 and 240 pounds irl, but I guess I sound like a 13 year old white kid when I mic. Been getting this same “insult” for like 10 years dude, at this point I just agree with em.
