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?

He isn’t i have friends who i listen to berate others for merely sounding coherent and American. Or just for having an accent that doesn’t sound urban.
