ok either my eyes are funky but...i am not racist..and i am sure someone else brought this up..but...why is cyrax a black dude? i mean..i never heard of a black jap clan member....cause they always showed everyone else in the clan as either a white dude or an asian dude...why make cyrax a black guy?


i prolly made myself sound really dumb but...

i think the term "jap" wass consdered to be a degrading term after world war 2 if i am correct... anyway, i dont see what you mean, the LEADER of the original clan if from america, and just an FYI there are a lot of black people in america, and across the world... so i dont see why a white guy could be in the clan and not a black guy...

i wasn't saying there was anything wrong with him being a black dude, and i will say jap if i want to. only the insecure people really get effected by it, plus it's just a word...get over. if you wanan take it like that and be that way then be my guest..but i did not mean it as a rude remakrd but..hey no..take it how you want

and i know there are a lot of black people in america...it's just i am saying wierd to see that every f***ing ninja, warrior/assasine from just about every "clan" is always a white guy or a JAP. it's just an odd turn of events...because tell me right now...when you first saw cyrax unmasked you weren't like "whoa..he's a black dude..that is wierd" cause you know in your head when you were thinking of it before you knew what he was...you thought he was either a white guy or a jap and you can't lie to me because unless the town i live in is another planet and i am pretty sure it's a good representation of human kind here..most of the people in those town that found out he was a black dude was like "whoa that's wierd.i expected him to be a jap or something"

but hey lets make this into a ethnic slurr war here

first of all. the lin kuei is a chinese clan.

scorpion's the japanese person in all this.

i suspect that people from all over the world go to join the lin kuei. and the lin kuei is willing to accept anyone that fits the requirements.

plus, this seems to have nothing to do with mk6, and should be in the classics section because ti was MKG that revieled this to us.

what if i was tell to you i am japaneese...or a "jap" or a "chink" would you grip at me for making fun of myself then?

how do you know i am not? and don't gimme that crap that "well you wouldn't be making fun of yourself then"....who cares..black people call themselves "ni**er" are you gonna say to them it's wrong? besides like i said it's a word...who cares..this is america..if you're that sensitive about words and slurrs and take them right away as ":O ohh he said jap" type thing then you are either A a little kid....or B..living in the wrong country my friend.

i mean come on i am not trying to start an argument but geez..did you have to sound like an a.s.s. and go "if i do believe that was a..." who cares? it's a word...A WORD...

plus your nationality says "american" and i am assuming you live in the USA...i am pretty sure living in the country should have de-sensitized you to that stuff lol, i mean come on...you can flip on the tv and basicaly see pron now a days...

i mean come on man it's just a word....

Two things:

1) For the record, "terms of familiarity" (people of same race referring to each other by racial terms) aren't used here. So it wouldn't matter whether or not you were Japanese, if you use generally offensive terms to describe even people of your own race/nationality, you're in the wrong.

2.) This is in the wrong forum, I think as it pertains to a previous Mortal Kombat game, not Mortal Kombat 6.

Please see the FAQ for more details on either or feel free to send a private message to me, any other moderator, or Jonin, our Forum Director.
