I have a some destiny friends who are black, I would say 10% of my friends list, and I enjoy playing with them quite a lot.
I happen to now reside in a state that is 97% white people, although originally from Boston, Mass. So the guys I play with are virtually the only black people I encounter conversationally on a regular basis, which is great in my opinion, there's only so much you can talk about with loggers and mill workers. Most of it involves logging and paper milling.
One group, that I met randomly in an impromptu flash mob dance party at the tower, is maybe the funniest crew I've ever played any game with, they seem to take everything in stride, even when someone dies or crota glitches and such, making jokes about crota mashing out our sword carrier and putting chalk around him.
Over the course of many many hours, raids and pvp, I've never heard those guys really bicker or get legit "he mad" over the game, they -blam!- with each other constantly but it's always in good spirits.
Compare that to almost every group of white guys I play with who are usually super frustrated and bitchy. Even the guys I really like and play with all the time, it's like every raid is a huge chore that they just have to do, even though they "ain't never gonna get nothing" then one gets the red death he's (and I still have) been waiting forever for and then it's. "About damn time."
I ended up talking to one of the guys about it and my theory (while reeking of generalization I admit) is that in general black people have to/have had to deal with more significant hardships, whereas many white suburbanites have not, forcing a more rational perspective, that it's just a damn game.
Anyone have any thoughts on it I'd love to hear it.
In fact I realize now how much healthier it feels to play with those guys because of the positive attitude.
