| Topic | Competitive Gaming - A great equalizer? (About Racial Diversity) |
| PikachuMaxwell 05/01/17 6:42:03 PM #1: | In our diverse world we sometimes complain about the lack of diversity in certain areas (e.g. Hollywood is too white, the NFL and NBA are too black, Asians are over-represented in Academics, etc.) I do think it's a noteworthy observation - although whether it is a big issue is another topic. But after attending the EVO tournament for the past two years and observing Fighting Game communities, I noticed that the crowd was pretty diverse (albeit mostly male gamers, though.) There's all kinds of gamers - white, black, Hispanic, Asian, etc. I was pretty impressed and not only were the attendees diverse, they all got along pretty well. There was camaraderie among all gamers and it was nice to see. So now, questions for the discussion: -Aside from the lack of female gamers, do you agree that the gaming community is the most diverse community out there? -If so, why is the gaming community diverse compared to other communities? There many be other questions I'd like to ask, but I'll see how the discussion goes first. --- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U mains: http://i.imgur.com/vLFcGb2.png Nintendo Network Name: JohnJohn ...
