I was just playing Halo 2 and one of the sergeants yelled at one of the Aliens "Hey Camel Jockey" as he was shooting at him.
What in the world do Arabs have to do with fighting aliens in the future?

Well, you can bet that if aliens started invading the Earth, we'd be pretty damn racist towards them. Far more than anything that has happened in our own history, I'm sure.

Very true, but would you call them Arabs?

Yeah... calling an alien a "camel jockey" doesn't make any sense at all.

why would you automatically associate camel jockey with an Arab?
Mongolians have camels in thier area and they ride em. so do australians (dont they?)

bet you never said that in a movie where they called some alien a "sh1t bag"... but who says aliens have bags? Or sh1t for that matter?

The aliens in Halo 2 ride camels? That's f**king awesome!!!!!
WIth such a large pool of racial slurs to draw from, maybe the crew over at Bungie decided it was best to occasionally throw a random one into the game. Next, you'll hear one of the Horde call you a 'cracker-ass honkey'.

I dont think there are camels in Mongolia, lots of horses through.

The marine's comments get more crude as you increase difficulty. It's hilarious.
And they say Camel Jockey beacause it's a game made by Americans targeted at Americans, who consist of alot of people angry at the war in Iraq, and Muslim Fundamentalists, and they just automatically assume Arab = going to try and blow something up. (I'm making some broad generalizations here, but try coming to a hick community, you'll see what I mean)

Is it that you needed to understand or, after all the of this thread you really thought nobody understood that?
I am not so much into that game at this point...
