Whether it is called whining or not, if you don't stand up against being insulted or defaced, you can't be called a man.

And what does playing the race card mean? That's such a lowly excuse for trying to let racism slip by. I'm not saying that Asians or any minorities are the only ones being treated unfailry. Whites are also treated with racism as well. (Personally, I am no fan of affirmative action and 'race quotas.')

If we want to get rid of racism (in this topic at least), the website should be marketed globally, towards gamers of all countries and color. Then the news post can say: MS asks gamers "WhatsWrongWithU?"

Then all gamers alike of race, gender, and sexual orientation can be all up in arms against the insult together.

I think we all need to take a page from South Park's episode "Chef Goes Nanners."
Chef, in the end, realizes that his fight against anti-racism made him a racist.
The town comprimised and instead depicting a group of white people hanging a black man on their town flag, they have a group of people of all races.

All in all, this could all still be the butt end of a simple misspelling: WhatsWrongWithU can easily be from WhatsWrongWithUs.

Again, I immediately thought racism when reading the post title in combination with the site.

But you are also correct: The way they made it sound is offensive at least. If this weren't marketed to the Asian countries, then they are pretty much insulting their consumers. That really can't be good for business, can it?

Well I automatically inferred racism. The title of this post: MS asks Asian gamers "WhatsWrongWithU?"

You are right. As an asian, I'm obviously supposed to just take insults like the name and smile. But really, I can take a joke because they are jokes (South Park is the tits when it comes to this; "Would you like some shitty pork?"). But flat out saying: You Asians aren't buying our stuff; there's obviously something wrong with you. It may not have been intended to be racist, but it certainly turned out that way. So, I'm just putting it out there.

The domain you suggested is pretty damn hilarious though.

On a more video game related note: My opinion and thoughts on Microsoft not doing well in Asia is this: They need more pr0n. XBox live is poised to bring into the millions of Japanese homes the joys of molesting and/or dating sims.

100 Achivement Points for groping that school girl!

I feel really offended by the name of their little site. "What's wrong with you?" I mean, it's practically saying that because I'm Asian, there is something wrong with me.

I'm Asian and I have an Xbox 360, but to think that I'm Asian and that I only like certain games? Doesn't that seem racist to you?

Granted, I'm American, but I love all sorts of games, no matter what country they come from.

Microsoft: You are doing well with XBox live, but what the hell were you thinking coming up with this? There's nothing wrong with me. There's obviously something wrong with you.
