Can you tell ethnicity by avatars?
Why is GAF overwhelmingly white?

1. It's a game forum primarily, I imagine that answers your question to a decent degree
2. I can't see each posters race or gender, so I don't know how you are determining this.
3. Let's change the gaf slogan to "Surfin USA" to better represent the whiteness.

Social justice appropriation? Is that what this thread is about?
Honestly, I'm not sure, because it's such a strange concept for a thread if so.

Excluding a whole group of people based on their race from a discussion seems kind of racist.

Even if you're right re:the demographics of the forum (you are), what's your point? Introduce racial quotas to GAF? Or would you just prefer loud mouth white guys like myself stop advocating for progressive causes? What do you think that accomplishes?

What?
I just assume everyone is their avatar.

Why do people bother with trying to increase women participation and ethnic diversity in tech companies and conference panels? It's pointless.

This place probably is super overwhelmingly male and very white, but you downplay the diversity even still. Its silly to try and drown out voices. That's just so outrageous.

On second thought, I think GAF is overwhelmingly nerdy!

that's why i always have to preface the fact i'm not a white male before i put forth an opinion that might go against the grain.
you know, just in case my opinion would be ignored and shat upon otherwise before even reading the first sentence :3

Okay, so show the statistics you came up with. Or are you just assuming?

Come to the NYC Neogaf meetup. At first, there was like 10 of us and not a single white guy there. We were getting worried.
does it matter? the point of his delirious rant is way worse, he's basically promoting a purge

I just died at work. Thanks for the laugh haha
You want white people to post less on Gaf? I am really confused about your position here.
Oh, wow. So that's where you are going with this. Yuck.

Yep. Makes some pretty baseless assumptions about the community threads and runs entirely in the wrong direction with it.
It's self-evident.

Uh, I'm not white.
Why should white privilege extend to posting on GAF??

A lot of Italians on the games side
Lotta animals on both sides.
It's too late, OP somehow knows you're white based on everyone's posts or some shit.

There are ways you could've addressed this topic without the assumptions and antagonism.
Such as, "How can we increase minority participation in online communities"
I mean, I didn't follow Gamergate much, but wasn't that one of the big themes?
