There was no colored german soldier in the field on WW1
Wrong. Get out.
I don’t understand why this is such a big deal to people. There were black soldiers that served in the german army, most served in places other than the western front.
i really don’t see the problem.
CONVEEN aren’t you late for your party bash? Stop posting on the forum or else you might miss your upcoming K K K and white power worldwide gathering!
He wasn’t being racist.
So thats the part that breaks your immersion? thats where the line gets crossed?
It’s true though
I just wish we’d have some soldier customization available. BF4 assault was black IIRC, don’t remember anyone being upset then. However, I do understand that when one imagines a German soldier a white blue-eyed man come sto mind.
.
What IS however rather disturbing is the lack of proper mustaches.
^ +1 this thread brings out all the white power lover trash racists out so we can marvel at their total lack of historical knowledge or knowledge in anything for that matter
He was most likely thinking of the western front as not many blacks served there in the German army. When people think of ww1 they think of the western front, not the dozen or so other fronts that were spread around.
I like this post, can’t tell whether:
a. OP is serious or trool
b. people responding are serious or in on trool
Because they made up .00001 % of the war, and are represented as the frontline in the marketing and the game.
And because this is now everywhere in society.
It makes sense to represent different people in the war, and I think some of these stories are interesting, but I can also see why some people are upset - the Western Front was primarily a white and European tragedy and the white people have taken a back seat in the imagery used by DICE. It is quite disrespectful to the people who served.
Because 5 black men served in the German Army on the Western Front they should make up 40% of the people represented in the German faction for the game?
Give me a break, you guys are just racists of another kind. (Also, cat memes are for pathetic .)
You do realize that there were over 10 fronts in the war don’t you? And the game takes place in areas other than the western front.
I’d also like to know where you get your figures on how many blacks served.
Read up on the destruction of German culture after WWII if you want to see where the racism against white people began.
Whether DICE intended to over-represent them in the German Army or not (that there were no black men in the campaign suggests it wasn’t at all a mistake) it is a powerful statement of our times. Also note the anti-Trump protests throwing trash and beating up white people, and the recent protests in American universities where black people have forced whites out, physically attacked them, and prevented them from even entering the university.
Sound familiar to anything in recent history? We live in interesting times.
Don’t try and tell a lefty an orange is orange if they say it’s green that’s what it is.
PS did I say “I hate Commie scum” I spit on the red flag.
It’s an alternate reality, there’s a lot more to remove from the game if you want an authentic WW1 experience… get a life and enjoy the game you sad, sad people.
I’m not quite sure how this has anything to do with the topic at hand.
