Operation Human Sheild

[Gulf_War_Syndrome]

Ok, now everyone has seen the South Park movie right..? Remember the part with "Operation Human Sheild" where all the African-American soldiers were to act as a frontline suicide squad, while the whities stay safe in the back lines?

I was looking through BFHQ at the USMC player models for each kit - take a look...
Notice that the "grunt" troops (anti-tank, assault, support) are all black men. Also notice the "trained" or "educated" troops (medic, engineer, special forces, sniper) are all whites.

I'm not trying to say anything in particular, but let's hear your thoughts...

My thoughts? it's been posted before under the "EA is racist" thread that was locked yesterday or the day before that.

hahahaha thats good brings back memories of southpark.

My question is why is the Chinese special forces a black guy?

[Lt.Izrael]

WOW Good point, strange :?

[LT_Bootymac]

Yeah this was the first thing I noticed in the demo

LT_Bootymac: "Hey, all the dumb kits are black guys.."

Also not trying to say anything, but I just found it odd

My question is why is the Chinese special forces a black guy?

LOL.
NO he is NOT "black".
It's camo face paint.

Noober.

LOL, just kidding.But really, he IS wearing face paint. Take a good look again next time you play.

No need to apologize, not to me anyway. :) It's just stereotypes that are perpetuated throughout movies mostly.

[Waste Land]

Goddamn people make stuff racist out of anything.

I see you drive a white car...something wrong with a black one.

Enjoy life and shut the hell up.

Damn whys the white guy gotta be medic? Saying he cant fight as good as a black guy?

Whys the white guy gotta be engineer? Calling us grease monkeys?

Whys the white guy gotta be SF? Looking to send a white man behind enemy lines to die quick huh?

RACIST

heh, never noticed that before..........

I have now read the "EA=Racist" thread. I thought maybe a thread like this would spark a bit more humorous and/or intellectual conversation... oh well, I'll start then:

Isn't it profound that when you are in the game, playing an anti-tank/assault/support, you don't realise you are "in" a African-American player model. It feels just the same as when playing the other whiteboy kits. Moral: "We're all malnourished computer geeks on the inside."

Because there are no mirrors around in the game, and every troop is wearing full camo and gloves, you don't know what colour you are, and then can't compare your skin colour to the other players. Would real-life racism be eliminated if we didn't have mirrors and were forced to wear full body coverings at all times, or would we also need to eliminate all still, reflective lakes?

Notice the anti-tank/assault/support troops lack a strong, rich, smooth singing voice during radio communication, and are also lacking a bass guitar as part of their equipment. (Sorry about this last one, another South Park reference I'm afraid - see episode "Christians Rock Hard")
