How can it be racist if it's true? They're gold farmers who live in China. Chinese gold farmers are a big problem and are know to cause issues with MMORPG's.A phrase from the article:
To me this article sounds a bit racist. The advertisements are annoying but the tone of the article is non the less the same.
Gold farming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, China is by far the major location, employing an estimated 80-85% of all gold farmers.
Chinese gold farmers typically work 10-12-hour shifts. Average earnings are around US$150 per month with (limited-quality) food and accommodation provided; more skilled farmers who can farm more in-game gold will earn more. Separate from the gold farms - which are often in low-cost, outlying locations - are the brokerages, typically based in city centres and employing well-educated customer services staff earning around US$350 per month[5].
Ge Jin, a 30-year-old Shanghai native, made a documentary on "gold farms" in China as part of his doctoral research at the University of California, San Diego showing the actual conditions and lives of gold farmers.[6] Anthony Gilmore is making a feature documentary, "Play Money", on the same subject.[7]
In July 2009, the Chinese government banned the trading of virtual currency for real money.
