Typically you can listen to Zero Punctuation and “Yahtzee” Croshaw to get a great laugh. This episode had me smiling all around and I enjoyed the topic of reviews until he began to speak about people only being able to afford one console, he states that this is what creates fanboys, which I guess makes some sense. He loses me at the very end of his video monologue when he refers to “being white enough to afford all of the consoles”, I have to say this comment really sat with me badly and shone an ugly light on an otherwise great episode.
I can only hope that Yahtzee had some kind of temporary lapse in judgement or his statement is not translating well, because to me this statement screams racist. We joke about a lot of things, but never racist remarks, to say that luckily he is “white enough to afford all of the consoles” is a slap in the face to any non-white person that plays video games or listens to his show.
Give it a listen and let us know your thoughts.

WHO CARES!!!!
its not a big deal
How is this not true? Racism is racism, no matter what way you Yahtzee fanboy’s spin it.
Quit being such a pansy.
I’m Mexican and have both the PS3 and the 360, I didn’t get the Wii because I didn’t want to not because I couldn’t afford it. Selling drugs comes in handy you know and white people happen to be my number one customers! We’ll see who hooks you up with that magical powder when you’re strung out in your white bathroom. Racist bastard!
When I first watched this earlier I actually stopped and replayed that section assuming I must have misheard him and thinking “he didn’t really just say that, did he?”. Very disappointing and inexcuseable.
Maybe you should relax and realize that maybe he was making a comment on the economic inequality in society. Not every comment about race is racist. No more Manufactured Controversy, Thank you.
It was a joke, get over it
@ El Cid - I did exactly the same and thought I was hearing things, but then replayed it and was upset
Come on; his comment isn’t racist. It isn’t even really a joke about race. Really, the joke is about the perception “the rich yuppie culture” commonly associated with whites. At worst, if you want to view it as a racial joke at its core, then I would say its equivalent to a joke like “As a black man, obviously my dick’s huge.” Few people would argue that that joke is racist (in the charged-with-negative-undertones sense of the word), or that it is necessarily a negative put down to all other races; rather, the joke is playing on the belief in the black stereotype, just as Yatzhee’s joke plays on a white “yuppie” one.
I don’t think he’s racist he just had a slip up. It happens when you’re trying to be funny. Chalk it up to experience, apologize, and call it a day.
Why, oh, why would you EVER care about that remark.
OMG, I can see the flashing lights of the PC brigade coming.
This world is now so sensitive to any remarks about race or skin colour, and that is what spoils any race jokes. That’s all it was. A JOKE
I bet if I just left the word RETARD, less people would take offence to that than the word BLACK
Oh dear, here come the care bear police. Get over yourselves. This whole stupid article is just another example of political correctness gone nuts.
So he says “go team RETARD” but the only thing you find offensive is “being white enough”???
Double standard FTW!
jesus, get over it. You all sound like you’re the head of the PTA. That, or you’re all just hypocrites who’ve seemed to forget about the racist jokes you’ve laughed at over the years. Stupid drama queens
It’s satire and black humor people. Nothing is sacred, that is the reason why it’s funny. I don’t know the guy but it’s safe to say the man is not a racist individual. If anything he’s referring to the fact that he’s from the country that has exploited the nations of many different “colored” individuals (rather like most countries in the West) hence the extra cash. If anything it’s a subtle dig at the “White” folk out there, and a well deserved one at that given the obvious truth in the matter.
by the way, my girlfriend tells me there’s a fresh supply of TAMPONS at your local TARGET.
So he can be a womanizing chauvanist. He can make gay jokes. He can mock Hitler and the holocaust and religion and AIDS and retarded people. And that’s all okay. But the moment he makes one pseudu-racist remark that was obviously untrue and meant to be humor, you people are up in arms? You guys are absolute morons. Homophobia is okay. Sexism is okay. Racism is not? Even if it isn’t even remotely harming anyone? God, you’re such stupid hypocrites. If you’re the kind of person who can be offended by on offhand remark by Yahtzee, you obviously shouldn’t be watching it. He always criticises hundreds of demographics but race is untouchable, huh? People are too sensitive. That phrase is tossed around too much, but it really is true. If Yahtzee’s vaguely racist comment offends you, than shut up and don’t whine about it. If everyone who Yahtzee offended complained, the internet would explode. Seriously, quit being stupid, hypocritical, overly-sensitive morons and laugh at his jokes, even if one of them doesn’t agree with you because you’re stupid.
I just have to say that whoever operates this blog is absolutely pathetic. More minorities are born into poverty or are born into lower classes than white people generally, how does that make him racist? That’s how it is, that’s not their fault they were born in conditions but that’s reality. You need to grow the fuck up and stop whining about something that isn’t even remotely racist just so you can get more hits on your shit blog from leeching off someone who obviously works hard each week to bring funny videos to the masses.
If I said in another conversation, man I’m lucky I wasn’t born a jew during the Holocaust would that make me a racist too?
Hey if you want even more hits start complaining about racism in Resident Evil 5, okay? The black people are zombies OH MY GOD RACISM.
Pathetic…
i like Yahtzee very much, he gives an average review of a game and doesn’t give it a score, which helps by making you think about it for a bit, but still i can’t believe Loot Ninja (not Yahtzee!) would point this out, granted is has a point, Racism = BAD, but hey, its life, deal with it, i don’t really give one that Yahtzee said a naughty word in a sentence, so what it won’t change the world and if it did its because The Escapist doesn’t want to seen as being racist and may fire Yahtzee from reviewing games, frankly if that happens, all i have to say is thanks Loot Ninga, thanks a lot!
What the fuck is racist about that?
THAT’S NOT TRUE RACISM.
Sensitive hippies. seriously.
Whatever this Article upsets me more then what was said. It’s like as soon as anyone says anything to do with race everyone is up in arms a whole controversy begins and he only ends up getting more fans in the long run because of it so ether you are someone from the Escapist magazines Marketing crew or a lame gamer who has nothing better to do with their time then point out other peoples flaws.
Cry more, pussies. Just because Yahtzee’s site has gotten more traffic than this piece of shit blog doesn’t mean you should go whining about it.
Trolled, bitches.
I guess that comment wasn’t necessary in the video, but I have no problem with it.
he is from Australia. and Australia is one of the most racist countries in the world. After Britain ofcourse.
All I can say is that i am not being sensitive or need a tampo ya ass wipes, I was merely pointing out a fact, that this comment existed in this episode and that I as an individual do not agree with it. Somewhere along the line I was labeled the care bear police, pretty funy actually, I want to be the one with the star on his chest! I digress, my main point was that IMO the statement was crude and I think it marred an other wise good episode. People have brought up all of his other episodes and hte fact hat he is crude and rude to all and that is fine but truth be told that I havent listened to all of his episodes, this is perhaps my second or third I have listened to. And I never called for the writer to be shot on site, I gave my opinion and then asked for yours.
Are you a softy, it’s not an insult, it’s a harmless joke. I think we can handle playing gory games like Gears or GTA, one joke obviously based at making fun of the stereotype at the same time is absolutely nothing. Get off your high horse.
You’d have to be a racist to see racism in that remark :p
(I’m not white and see no problem with that. He’s not being genuinely racist, it’s for humor.)
Are you joking? Of yes, it’s fine for Zero Punctuation to poke harmless fun at homosexuals, and not to mention hardcore games, but the second the joke steps into your backyard it’s suddenly wrong. I think this article is a case of “Not in My Backyard”, and you obvious are only caring about yourself when watching comedic media and laugh at insults to other types of people. If you for some reason, for example, you think sexual preference isn’t equatable to race, then I think you’re just out for censorship. Have fun with that, I hear people love it.
All this because he said he was white enough to afford more than one console. God bless this country!! LmAo, didn’t anyone think for at least one second that maybe, just maybe, he was being sarcastic. As far as I know, most fanboys of either system are white.
So Al Zamora, you take one off-handed and quite obviously joking comment and choose to take offence without bothering to find out if he’s done it before? Or if he mocks all and sundry? That says more about your extreme sensitivity than it does about Yahtzee’s sense of humour.
In numerous reviews he has pointed out how different races are portrayed in games - particularly FPS games where Nazi’s and Japanese are routinely portrayed as slobbering evil charicatures while the all-American hero can do no wrong. He is also pointedly barbed about those games which can be seen as pandering to the P.C. brigade - such as yourself - by including as many different races as possible as a means of trying desperately not to offend anyone…….Assassin’s Creed and it’s rainbow cavalcade of developers anyone?
If you are honestly offended by such a bland remark, I’d hate to see how you react to an actual racist. Come now, trying too hard for controversy I reckon….don’t ever watch the Daily Show with John Stewart, I doubt you’d have the sense of irony to make it through that show without running to this blog and screaming about it.
Get over yourself. It was a joke.
btw quit spamming the social bookmarking websites. i love it that you boast your 1 digg in a badge
I’m spanish and I was not in the least offended. I found it hilarious.
And this the same video that depicts a penis on someone’s head, a controller in someone’s eye, insinuating Yahtzee had sex with someone’s mother, and other sexual and violent imagery and dialogue, but a playfully sarcastic sentence about being white is uttered and it’s offensive? What about the REST OF THE VIDEO? The whole fucking thing is offensive. But let’s try this; watch it with a sense of humor and realize it’s ONLY A JOKE.
i am more like brown. i own every major system except 360 cause of RRoD.
Carlos has a point. Get the vibrator back in your ass and enjoy yourself. Don’t take it out on the rest of us when your batteries run out and you have nothing better to do than be the moral police.
Hmm…saying that whites can afford more gaming consoles than non-whites is not right…its just not kosher!
Its a stereotype which leads to racism!
Do we see something wrong with this picture?
All whites have money…
All Asians dont know how to drive…
All black males are well endowed…
All Middle Easterns are terrorists…
All Latino’s are Mexicans and they are all landscapers…
All Jews are cheap…
These are all fked up & ignorant stereotypes which leads to racism!
You hit it right on the money Princess… what’s your damn point. All or most of those stereotypes aren’t stereotypes at all, they’re the truth.
i am middle eastern. oh wait so i am a terrorist?
That’s why I said All or most of them. Dumb ass!
its ignorance in action
1) Yahtzee, like most Australians, is most likely a closet racist (sorry guys, but I know this first-hand from living in your country for 4 years; being called names on he tram was NOT cool at all). But that’s not the important point here.
2) I agree with what this guy said: “Maybe you should relax and realize that maybe he was making a comment on the economic inequality in society.”
Admit it. It was fucked up, but it was funny. Move on. The last thing we want is Yahtzee trying to tip toe around political correctness. That would take half the mojo out of his shows.
Right… whatever you say bud, go back to reading the blog instead of commenting on it (It’ll stay more interesting that way).
Just to let a lot of white people remember that there many black countries that are rich. Trust me stop watching the television for awhile. Go out there and see for yourself. too much stereotyping by the media. Anyway Yhatzee is typical British so i expected something outrageous. But it would be kind of ironic that he stood up for black and brown people in his rant review about the game Uncharted and he even touched on Resident Evil 5. So i am a bit confused as to why he would now say a dumb thing like that.
PS3 Rocks! and i own an xbox360 but that RRODED.
Zero Punctuation is overrated shit that only retarded people can enjoy and Yahtzee is a Sony fanboy wanker. Also you Zero Punctuation fanboys need to stop sucking Yahtzee’s dick and saying he is right with everything when he just makes up bullshit for games I bet he never even plays.
another day another person offended… all in all, I’d say it’s a pretty normal Friday. Catch you kids up! Stay Black! Viva La Raza! White Power! Asian Persuasion! Dirka Dirka Jihad!!
It was a freaking joke! If anything it is the exact opposite of racist, as it brings attention to inequality.
This is one of the worst things I’ve ever read.
God America sucks so much when people acutally care about little jokes like this that arent even really racist…
According to Merriam Webster,
ignorance=the state or fact of being ignorant : lack of knowledge, education, or awareness
According to Princess O,
ignorance=Rade6
Personally I don’t see what all the fuss is about. Everyone gets offended at the slightest thing these days.
Grow a pair and man up. (Oh no i’ve offended all the women who can’t grow a pair now…….)
Firstly: You’re far too oversensitive, Al. It was a simple comment, and above all else a harmless JOKE. One I found funny. And not because I’m white. In fact I took it to poke fun at white people, seeing as the white population is more money grubbing as a whole historically. Oh noes. There goes some more “racism”… You better get blogging.
Secondly: Why, in your opinion, is it only offensive to NON-whites? Because it implies white people have more money? Well wouldn’t that be offensive to a poor white person? I don’t have enough to buy more than one console.
I guess I’m not white enough.
if people stoped caring about being offended (i have mor many years now) everything becomes funny.
as south park says, everything is ok to say or nothing is.
Wow, somebody actually got their panties in a twist over that comment. You’re quite over-sensitive there eh? You’d think he was talking about his recent KKK rally or something.
I feel that there’s no reason for anybody to be offended by this. Simply because frankly in my opinion, it was more a jab at the IDEA of whiteness, the same idea that’s used to comedic sense in black comedy. The idea of the kinda up his own hole chap who must own everything to please himself, following suite the, he can’t jump/dance and has no style/ whatever ideas too. Essentially is a complete square whatever way you want to spin it.
Hell this idea doesn’t offend me whenever I watch say Chappele’s show, where there are things said a bit heavier then this oh so offensive line of Yahtzee’s. Who if he’s referring to the whiteness thing in the same way as I feel he is. Would be the same as any other ethnicity joking about a stereotype about them.
Now, as an Irish man, born and raised, I must re-hook my whiskey IV, do my 11thousand rosaries, and talk like the guys from boondock saints, while beating my leprecaun wife and crapping out Blarney.
This is terrible, its funny, its not racist its a god damn joke.
Its not a phenomenon that “whites” have more money. If anything I suppose its a nice past and present time history lesson for anyone who finds this offensive. Sorry.
How DARE he say such a thing!
I mean, really, how dare a WHITE boy make a joke about WHITE people being richer than most black people?
It’s ok for Chris Rock to do the EXACT SAME THING because he’s black, but NOT a white boy!
Totally inexcusable.*
* I’m being extremely fucking sarcastic, if you didn’t realise.
I mean out of ALLL the stuff he said, that is what bothered you? I’m black and I think funny is funny. What he said means what is accepted as norm. That white people have most of the money in the world. (Bill Gates, Warren Buffet) If he said your just mad because you cant afford this all three consoles because you are asian\ black\ hispanic. Then he would be racist.
*ahem* http://www.forbes.com/2008/03/05/richest-people-billionaires-billionaires08-cx_lk_0305billie_land.html
Patrick explained this fuss over nothing quite well. Yahtzee was actually making a not-so-subtle dig at racial/socio-economic inequality. The fact that most of these people don’t get this joke just further justifies Yahtzee’s apparent belief that the people who watch his reviews are morons. Since so many of you seem to think that if race is even brought up in a discussion where we’re not all bending over in a circle to kiss each other’s a**es, saying how wonderful everything is, that we must collectively scream, “RACIST! BLASPHEMER!”, I think I agree with him.
P.S. Sorry, Yahtzee. I know my punctuation is off. Keep the reviews coming.
To hide racism under humor is a big problem. Whenever you see somebody making racist jokes, he/she IS A RACIST, they don’t do it just because it’s funny.
Even if you make racist jokes without meaning to be a racist, people who will laugh at them are only going to be the racists. So basically, you people who are out there trying to give excuses for this “funny joke” are most likely racists yourself.
Dear internet,
Please stop having fits over what is intended to be humorous. He is white and made a joke about his whiteness somehow affecting his affluence. This is quite untrue as he received some of his review equipment from the website he works for. You seriously need to think twice about a joke before you get upset.
Grow some testicals and learn to deal with things you don’t agree with (OMG DANJI IS A SEXIST!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!) No really, I hate you.
The world is racist not Zero Punctuation. Anglo-saxons are the richest people in the world, its just how it is. What he says is especially true in Australia as well.
Irony, look it up.
Yahtzee was just joking as always, I don’t think he ment anything harmful with it.
Welcome to the freaking internet!
if you dont like Yahtzee, just dont watch the freaking review.
these reviews are all filled with swearing, gay jokes, racism, and everything else fuckwards like you can choose to me offended by.
It’s a joke.
Given all the racist comments I hear on Live I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by so many people in this thread not getting it. Maybe all of you are too naive (and probably too privileged) to get it, but Yahtzee’s comment is loaded with unflattering connotations.
And yes, the profligate use of the word “retard” in society (and by the gaming press particularly) is highly offense, immature and despicable.
How much of an idiot do you have to be to interpret a satirist’s joke literally? It’s his JOB to use politically incorrect lingo and if you fall for it, you’re simply making a fool of yourself.
Holy shit, leave Yahtzee alone. I hope he makes fun of you in his next thing.
It wasn’t even racist against other races o_o If you think he’s racist against other races then why would he bash white supremacists in his Uncharted review.
And anyways, I wouldn’t get offfended by anything that Yahtzee said.Yahtzee was just making a slight joke, and seriously I think it was more against white people with his tone. If you could catch on at all.
Plus, I don’t see you coming to the homosexuals protection with all the gay jokes he puts in there. Why not? Because they’re ……. funny? But they’re JUST as offensive, if not more. So don’t post hate articles about one thing and not the other, that’s just hyprocritcal. You suck x 10.
Anyways, Yahtzee is the best game reviewer. One of the only ones out there that is actually funny and has a pair. I hope that the bad press you gave him doesn’t force him to change anything. ’cause you’re a damn fool.
As usual people are making something out of nothing!
@HM: Obviously you are not very familiar with loot ninja…
-They are funny, listen to their podcasts & read their reviews.
-They do have a pair, cause they bring up all types of topics and not afraid to voice their opnion on sensitive issues such as nudity in games, racism, etc.
-They are a good gaming review website. With info. from this site, I have not only learned so much about the gaming industry, I completely became much more techie and my man today is defending his MBA with info. gathered from this site…so thank you loot ninja for keeping it real
And if you knew anything about marketing, all these negatives comments are just adding to the LN publicity, so keep them coming, I am sure they appreciate the voice of the ignorant as well as the intellects!
All of you anti-white haters need to shut up and listen up! The day has come when the dark peoples of the world have thrown off the shackles of their white masters, and now we can all be free to poke fun of the chalkies. Death to the honkey-man! Burn his paleface money and chew on crackers then spit out the remnants to show your distaste!
Erm, anyway, since when can you be racist making fun of whites? I could up and down the streets of my neighborhood yelling “honkey” and “cracker” at my neighbors, and the worst that would happen is that I might be arrested, but for disturbing the peace rather than any sort of hate crime. Oh, but I guess people are being offended because this makes fun of all the other races EXCEPT whites- I guess it’s okay to be offended by that. Rolleyes.

lmao you guys know this guy isn’t actually white right? In one of his vides (maybe the only one) he APPEAREDDD!! in the episode to talk for like 30 seconds and he wasn’t white. I’m pretty sure he means metaphorically white and come on who hasn’t heard it before. “You’re so white lol” or “Dude you are the whitest person I know” yes it’s very stereotypical and perhaps racist but it’s not like they’re saying its BAD to be white or black or whatever. Whats even more funny is that you guys take this as racism towards OTHER races, not white people, while the stereotype he made was actually about white people.
I think the funniest thing about this is all the comments towards LN. We’ve all stressed it enough that it was just ONE comment so why the hell do you people keep coming back stating facts, sources, and shit. I think everybody got the gist of it so no need to come back and rant. You guys are saying he’s so sensitive about one comment, but apparently you guys are sensitive about the fact that he blogged about it. I can’t wait ’till they mention about this on the next podcast or something. Hooray for the most talked about news on LN, I never knew LN had so much visitors.
Racism is not a guy talking about himself in a video you choose to watch ,racism is when grade school children go to school and the kid sitting next to him tells him that whites and blacks should not go to school together this child gets hurt in the first years of life by kids who were taught racism at home so before everybody gets all fucked up about website they choose to pull up think about the little kids in school who have no choice
Please explain this to me: when you say he’s jewish enough to buy all three consoles you’re making fun of the people who are rich enough to buy all three console, the jews in this case. No change jewish to white and all sudden you’re not making fun of white people you’re making fun of everybody else… WTF? If you didn’t get that the comment was directed at racism and is not racist itself, you shouldn’t be commenting it. The fact is that not everybody can afford to buy three consoles, an looking at statistics, a majority of the people who can or white. Yahtzee’s comment points at the fact that although there are many laws against discrimination, if you look at the richest part of the population, the percentage of white people is higher than the percentage of white people in the middle class, which is higher the the percentage of poor people. That is not racism, that is fact, and a sad one, and one which Yahtzee is hinting at with his comment.
People are overracting. It’s not that big of a deal.
HAAHHAHAH! “Yahtzee” keep doing that thing you do! lol! The rest is just bulls…t. Oh and by the way, you were rigth, Arm of Two sucks! ahahah!
racist? ironically its yourself who is being racist by suggesting such a thing. You think the world is some lovey dovey place where the colour of someones skin has no bearing? are you trying to join team retard? There is still plenty of racism and inequality left in the world which can seen as black people not being as rich as whites. it shouldn’t be that way but it is. So his comment simply referred to this fact of life.
Yet you had to jump on the “i know!!! i can get a popular article here and feel all cool because loads of people will comment on it” train.
serious man, its boring.
@deanimate
How was the train ride, you obvioulsy took the ride too by posting, it could have not been that boring…LOL
Stereotypes are wrong, bottom line! Not all whites have more $$$ than non-whites.
I have two homes one in the lower income ethnic neighborhood I grew up (which is the one that keeps me real, balanced and grounded) and the other in one of the most upscale neighborhoods in NY sharing the same hood as major celebrites, rappers, CEO’s, baseball & football players. Trust me I have more loot than most of my white friends…I worked really hard to get where I’m at. Im just not proud of where I am today but where I came from…
Inequality exists we all know that but stereotypes only help promote inequality and racism.
Bottom line: stereotypes=ignorance!!!
This is bullshit. So black people can make jokes about black people, jews can make jokes about jews, etc.. etc.. but yhatzee’s comment was wrong when it was a damn joke? You all need to calm the hell down. This is rediculous and just another double standard you have created.
This is utter bullshit.
I really do despise people that shout ‘RACISM!’ every time somebody makes a joke.
You’re far too quick to cry racism, like most liberal twits who write on the internet. Note that his joke was about WHITE PEOPLE, you paranoid idiot.
I thought it was funny. Just like I find most politically incorrect humor quite hilarious. Make all the jokes about goose-stepping, genocidal, middle-class, spoiled rotten german-american kids you want. I don’t care if you’re black, white, red, brown… whatever. If it’s intended to be funny, go for it. There are different motivations for speech, and I think it’s pretty clear that any non-PC statements made by a comedian (which is what Yahtzee is) are intended to be humorous. Can’t make the separation? Well, to each their own. Just don’t try and take away my rights to listen to funny shit just because you’re overly sensitive.
People need to seriously relax about racism. It was a big deal….50 years ago. Just because some comment about white people being able to afford consoles gets released by a recognized figure in our gaming society doesn’t mean it’s a big deal. I’m white, I don’t own all three consoles, in fact I own a Wii…the cheapest of all the systems. I like PS3 and 360, I just don’t have them. Does that make me black in this man’s eyes? No, he isn’t a racist, serious racism is a thing of the past, actually, acting like this towards it, only makes it worse…it’s called reverse psychology. So relax, lighten up, maybe if Yahtzee had taken a video of himself wearing a Ronald McDonald costume whilst whipping a black family until they died THEN we should be discussing racism, but until then I say…relax :d
You guys whining are a bunch of fucking nerds, seriously get out of your mothers basement and enter reality.
When i heard it in the video (before seeing this article) it came across to me as ”white people are geekier and buy all these consoles”. Which is true, if that’s how it was meant.
Speaking as a white geek.
This article seems more like a baiting attempt… maybe by a Smash Bros fan? lol
Maybe you just wanted some more hits on your site (never heard of this one before, suprisingly since you have a lot of activity with your postings of news, etc). Or maybe i’m a ‘Yahtzee Fanboy’/Racist. Who knows…
You know, the guy IS British.
Maybe he’s just an asshole. Ever think about that?
Albeit a funny asshole.
Yahtzee was just making fun of a stereotype that a lot of white people are rich. Black comedians themselves use this joke quite often. He’s not being racist, you politically correct imbeciles.
@Brizzle,
If you a true LN follower, you would know that the authors of these reviews & site founders are mostly married, have mortgages, and have professional jobs.
Why dont ya get out of your momma’s basement, you would then see that racism still exists in this world, which is unfortunate but true!
The article wuz just pointing out a racial comment. No one is taking your right away to listen to it. Its called freedom of speech. If you dont like it, flip the channel!!!
Oh my, someones racist on the internet, shameful!
Apparently none of you are offended by him saying “Go team retard”
I guess its O.K. to make fun of mentally disabled people, enjoy your double standards.
Get over it.
who fucking cares if he put in a racist joke. it was funny and i laughed.
Who cares? As a racist and a professional troll, I really do not care that he said “white enough to afford all the consoles.”
Boo fucking hoo jesus christ what is wrong with you people
Hurrrrr I get worked up about stupid shit too.
You’re all whiny babies.
Wow is this the only video of his you’ve watched? He’s a fucking comedian, what do you expect? Any of you mexicans or blacks that are offended by this need to shut the fuck up and stop acting like such a victim kthanx.
Oh noes, he called himself white!
Durr hurr
I swear to god, people can’t take a joke for what it is anymore
OH NO PEOPLE MIGHT GET OFFENDED STOP THE PRESSES
This has got to be, without a doubt, the most retarded Yahtzee-related shit I have ever seen.
I like how you are offended when he makes a joke at the expense of white people (and then you project that he is somehow saying NEGROES AND WETBACKS CAN’T AFFORD TEH POSTRIPPLE HURF DURF) but looking through your previous posts I can see that you have made no such outraged commentary on his use of the word “mongoloid” in previous videos or his remarks that Japanese people are all xenophobic in his Heavenly Sword demo/RE5 debacle one.
Cry some more, you faggot. (Oh wait, that’s homophobic. I shouldn’t have said that :C )
UR A MAGGET
I guess you missed his uncharted review of when he writes out NIGGER in bold letters.
Grow the fuck up, what are you 12? “BAWWWW he made a semi raciest comment now I haet em >:(”
Jesus fuck, it’s people like you that bitch about Resident evil 5 zombies being black.
God, you’re an idiot.
please stop being so damned stupid, this isn’t a ‘racist’ comment, it’s a joke based on racial differences, but that doesn’t constitute ‘racism’.
the joke hinges on white people being being more affluent than other races, this is mainly poking fun at his own race in a sense seeing as the reasons white people are on the whole more wealthy aren’t always fair and legitimate, we have an ‘easier time’ than other races, which isn’t fair.
the joke doesn’t insight ‘racial hatred’ or really inspire racial thoughts, and in that instance people need to shut the fuck up and leave free speech alone, seriously, there ARE differences between the races, and it IS okay to be humorous about it, it is NOT okay to go throwing around racial slurs or imply stereotypical prejudices to individuals based on their race, but it is and has been perfectly fine to comment on the financial differences between the two, it’s no different the the jokes Chris Rock makes.
if you want to mither and complain about nothing at all, go check out his Uncharted review, of course, I doubt you’ve seen it since you only started watching after the brawl bullcrap.
Uh. Retard. Just because he says something about race doesn’t mean he’s a racist. By saying “I’m white enough to afford all consoles” he was making a comment on the economic inequality seen in races, particularly here in Australia, where almost every Aboriginal is on the borderline of poverty, and most asians are either incredibly rich or incredibly poor, whereas the usual white person is middle-class.
Also, here in Australia, we don’t shout OMG RACIST whenever somebody says either “white” or “black”.
When I was in America, I was talking to my friend’s friends, one of whom was black, and I said “We don’t really have many black people in Australia” with no racist intentions whatsoever - I was immediately branded a “cracker-ass racist” (double standard much?) And despite my best efforts to explain that I’m not in fact racist, I was shunned.
TLDR version: Yahtzee isn’t racist.
It’s a slow day on the internet when a bunch of butthurt faggots sit around BAWWWWWing just because some Australian vidjya game critic went off and made a “racist” comment. What the fuck does it matter? It’s not like it was all that apparent if some of you had to go off and listen to it a second time just to sit around with your thumbs up your asses to talk about racism, no shit it’s still around and the ONLY way anyone is going to get over racism is if/when the entire populace of the world interbreeds so there IS no majority or minority race. Even then though we as humans are going to start disliking other humans for whatever defect they may have- physical or not. So just shut the fuck up and stop crying because someone made a racist “generality”. ~Lawl
People who get upset over something as trivial as this are the reason why everyone has to tiptoe around anyone who isn’t white. God forbid someone make a harmless joke. Better get to suing Yahtzee to defend your ethnic honor!
COMEDIANS MAKING A RACIST JOKE?
GASP
This is why Racism is funny, theres always some over-reactive little boy who crys “RACISM RACISM BAWWWWW’ every time shit doesn’t go their way.
Besides, freedom of speech. Don’t like it, go cry me a river you fascist swine.
jesus christ who cares what this guy says? He’s a comedian. Comedians make JOKES. Jokes are things that are meant to be funny. I personally laughed at the remark in question, and anybody who took is seriously is a nigger
