So I went onto The Best Builders because I wanted to build and face off other people. I got in and the game was filled with like 22-23 people. When the game started, the topic was: China. What many of you might not know is that I’m half Chinese.

I thought people were gonna put ramen (that’s Japanese) or like Kung fu stuff, so I didn’t think much about it. I built the country of China with the flag in it. I didn’t think too much about what people were gonna build until right before voting started.

First person built the Chinese flag, which was fine. The second person also built a flag, but next to it was a person wearing a mask... That wasn’t as bad as all of the rest of them.

Around 15-18 of them built viruses to represent the coronavirus due to the Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak that causes Covid-19 (Covid is short for coronavirus, 19=2019). I’ve already suffered enough with people avoiding me because of my race and people making jokes about the Chinese and the Covid pandemic, but this just hit me hard. I honestly wanted to cry. I never knew that this many people associated China with disease. No one seemed to be very ashamed either. Some people voted “Okay” or even “Good” on the virus builds (Terrible For the people who found it racist (like 2 including me) and for the people who just always vote terrible). I did manage to win, but the 2 runner ups were the virus builders, and they weren’t too far behind me.

Building stuff like this or making memes or statements about this is not funny. It’s offensive to possibly more than a billion people in the world. It’s inappropriate. Your little thing you made about stuff like this will make one laugh but will ruin many others’ days.

I know that the first amendment states that everyone has the freedom of speech, but his is just way too much. People really need to stop being racist. This sounds super cliche, but this is a very bad thing that has been going on for so long. Racism caused the death of George Floyd and so many other people. People in the state/province I live have been shot by GUNS because of the pandemic and their race. Even some racist slurs have been thrown around. I’m glad we’ve gotten somewhere for the racism, but I’m suprised how NOT far we have gotten to stop it.

I don’t care if this thread gets locked or deleted. And please, don’t try to comfort me in the comments, it’s not gonna work. You can still reply if you want.

I’m sorry for discussing such a solemn topic on these forms. Hopefully, next time, I won’t post something as solemn.

I am not asking for pity.

I get it, to put it simply, people suck. When it comes to china, people fault the public for the actions of the government regarding the virus, which is wrong. Sorry you have to deal with this on a regular basis.

I’m japanese but people still do stuff to me anyways ;-; so I feel your pain dude *pats back*
You're Japanese? : OO I've never met someone from Japan before! ;-;

I do understand what you're going through. Seriously, I don't understand why people are like this. This used to happen to me because I'm a Latina and they used to think I was rude and annoying, stuff like that. I hope everything's ok!

I don't know why people can't just treat everybody fairly. Racism honestly disgusts me, and although I have white privilege (which honestly makes me sick to my core, that we can't just all be treated as equals), I understand where the world is at right now.

It was not China's fault that COVID-19 is around- don't go blaming one country, when millions of people couldn't care less about social distancing in the US, about the people who are vulnerable to this virus. People are selfish, and cruel, and I can't believe things like this are happening in 2020.
2020!
We're not living in the 1960s y'all, show some love towards everyone and use your brain!
Thank you for talking about this, it's a topic that needs to be addressed, no matter now solemn or 'controversial' it may be.

Thats honestly sickening, and I thought unfair voters/inappropriate builds were bad.


I'm so sorry that you had to go through this, and also to anyone else who goes through this.


Covid-19 isn't a joke, and it most certainly is NOT something to blame other people for. That is honestly disgusting, and SHAME on you if you think Covid or Racism is a funny joke, because it is is ABSOLUTELY IN NO WAY one of those.

There are SO many innocent people who's lives have been utterly destroyed at the hands of racism and Covid, and if your gonna mix the two together, that's insanely twisted.


I could go on and on but honestly im tired of all of this insanity and would just rather go to sleep.

Wow I don't play TBB due to the unfair voters but that's just disgusting for the people who built the covid builds to do. Associating an entire people to a virus and teaching kids that they should do the same thing is crazy and then seeing kids do it in a videogame?
