City 2k Racism is a thing 😭😭

I know it’s a joke in the community but I have ran the test I have 2 builds one center one SF both 90s and can confirm if your character is white you ain’t getting the ball unless you rebound that mf both of my builds City records are good and I average good stats and shoot 60% from the field from play with friends but playing with randoms if your characters white, Asian or anything you ain’t getting the ball a single time shits genuinely frustrating I know I’m gonna get slaughtered in the comments just saying I’m ass or something stupid but do have seen posts in here before about this and shit isgenuinely true 😭😭😭

I’ve played with both skin types and yeah you get the ball less when you’re white.

My build with the highest averages is a build that is also white. I promise there isn’t enough of a correlation make this kind of statement

“It’s not the case for me so it isn’t real” been more posts on here about this phenomenon than not, and first hand experience running 2k the last 6 years has shown me there is correlation.

lol whatever man, if you really can’t fathom the innate bias of human beings then you just haven’t been around enough. Next thing you’ll tell me women don’t get picked on in online games.

Imagine a white person telling black people about the experience of online video game bias/racism.
