Microsoft unable to prevent racism on Forza 2

Although Microsoft has tried their best, they are still losing the battle when it comes to preventing racism on Forza 2. The problem is the Live community is one of the game’s best features, but that is just the perfect way for people to express their political views or just to form a reaction, the problem comes when people use Forza 2 paintjob editor in order to create a car with a racist theme.

This is totally against Microsoft’s Live Online User Policy, in that policy it clearly state that users are not allowed to:
“Publish, distribute or disseminate any topic, name, material, file or information that incites discrimination, hate, or violence towards one person or a group because of their race, religion, nationality, transgender status, homosexual status, or HIV/AIDS status, or that insults the victims of crimes against humanity by contesting the existence of those crimes.”

Turn 10, the maker of the Forza 2 game is still trying to take steps in order to fix this issue, but as we all know it will be very hard. One prime example is when you take a look at the 1957 Mercedes 300SL, it has the traditional colors of the NSDAP, it has a black background and a swastika contained in a white circle in the color red, there is also an SS insignia with many slogans on it, one which reads “Heil Hitler.”

All this racism is in very bad taste and has to be addressed quickly.
