Kixeye should be ashamed. Hopefully enough bad press and folks commenting will get them to take a look how they operate and what they tolerate and change it.
Maybe they should actually try and focus as a company.
1. insist the programmers work. There games are not that great.
2. insist their website get up to 2012 standards. I would assume they were not a serious company based upon their all Flash website.
3. Look at Chick-Fil-A and the onslaught of people pissed off at their stance on gay's in the workplace. We should be equally pissed at Kixeye and boycott them too.
4. There are standard stereotypical jokes and then there are blatant racist comments.
Example Joke: Asians have a lot of trouble parking and stopping at stop signs.
Blatant racism: "Hey Joe, I mean Ying, to use your real name, nice 30 point parallel park this morning, you really are Asian."
There is a difference. I am white and I live in a very predominantly Asian area of Cupertino and the joke would be funny to a lot of Asians. The racism, no.
Kudos to the OP for writing this.
We can all tell he is upset at what he experienced. Some of this shows through but boil this down to the essence and we have a company that is openly encouraging a racist environment and in 2012 nobody should have to worry about being black, white, purple, gay, straight, trans-gender, dress like a thug, cross-dress, etc...
Edit: Thinking about this more, the OP gets irritated when the company served a lunch of "Fried Chicken and Waffles". He implies indirectly to Black folk this is an insult. However, look at the menu of "Waffle House" and it is an item on the menu. There wasn't anything really wrong with the lunch they served. It is one of those lunch combinations that people just know about and associate with Blacks.
Example: Fried Chicken and Watermelon - Black
Corn Beef and Cabbage - Irish
Tea and Cucumbers - WASPS (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant)
Mac and Cheese with Hot Dogs - White
Racist company and an OP that is coming down to their level more often than he should. Let the water roll off a ducks back...
- kevingadd 14y agoLook, I'm not a fan of Kixeye's games either but I think we should be able to agree that the quality of their website is not really a consideration when it comes to the topic of discussion here. What does Flash have to do with this?
- jason_slack 14y agoYou are right, it has no factor.
