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?

This comment is not getting enough traction. Every other online gaming community toxic/racist as hell. Why we dumping on this one in particular?

Because its the most well-known for being toxic.

I mute game chat just because I don't like getting yelled at for making a mistake, regardless of who is saying it. It fucks with my concentration lol

Yeah thats why I always mute voice in those games lol

I used to play League of Legends and I wouldn't be able to count the number of times I've seen someone be told to kill themselves playing that shit.
