Minecraft in Afrikaans got racially trolled

Considering that white, Afrikaans speaking, South Africans (like myself) are stereotyped & perceived, almost unilatirally, by the Europeans who dont know many (or any) white, Afrikaans speaking, South Africans as being racist neo-Nazis. So maybe whoever decided to include that delightful racial slur thought since all white, Afrikaans speaking, South Africans are racists that it would be nice jab... or it could just be some random troll who thought it would be funny.

When I was in Germany for Gamescom, one of the German journos and I got to chatting about games. I was telling him how in SA, Modern Warfare 2 seems to be more popular than Black Ops; and he "quipped" probably because it has the word black in it... I was like :wtf:

Hehehehe blerrie agents planting this kak all over the interwebz.

Something like this has always been a concern to plenty of people who are translating software. Especially when it comes to transcribing into a language that the developers and publishers don't really understand.

Other things, like transcribing speech to text can also lead to some assholeness like this.

I was playing UMvC3 online and the American guy I was playing had his mic on. He just saw I was from SA and kept calling me "stupid n*****" while I was beating him. So my bet is it was an American. They tend to just assume.
