Why not Hate the Player?

Okay, after reading this...there are several things that (if I have read and understood them correctly) have blown.my.mind.

1) That these "Gold farmers" that are paid to "play online all day, every day, gathering artificial gold coins and other virtual loot that, 'as it turns out, can be transformed into real cash." really exist!! (133) IS THIS FOR REALZ?! ....mind blown.

this first one, which leads into my next case of mind being blown is making my insides cringe and shudder...and my ethic and moral little person on my shoulder want to scream and shout and jump up and down and sit down and have a talk with every player in WoW that has anything to do with the machinima ---->(which, "allows users to extend its [the games] representational or narrative space.." (135))....back to my mini rant...I want to sit down with any players that support or created that "Ni Hao" video! Mind if I continue my rant on this one a little? Well..I'm going to, forgive me for getting sidetracked, BUT. I feel like the players in WoW that feel the need to discriminate, torment, kill-off or whatever else they may do to these "farmers" or Chinese players are only doing this out of fear...fear of the Chinese players who are playing as leisure players, that I hope to goodness are kicking some ignorant naive WoW players butt. The players that head hunt the farmers only go for the farmers because they are an easy target, they know (okay, maybe they don't, I'm honestly not that familiar with the game, but from a non-gamers point of view..)they cant spot out a Chinese player, and even if they could, they know better than to mess with them..if they are playing within the same server. Well...okay that was basically the 2) that I was going to get to..but I kind of got a little worked up as I was typing..So to make it clear:

2) That there are players in this virtual world that want to (and somehow manage to) bring an aspect of our reality that our society has been trying to be rid of for decades. Why I ask?! WHY?

Okay, sorry for my rant..and I apologize if some of the things I said were incorrect concerning the game..just my understanding from the reading, and my opinions. The Asian culture is beautiful, serene and DESIRABLE, to think that so long as these "'farmers are figured as unwanted guest workers within the culture of MMOs," that this beautiful culture is seen as a threat to the beauty and desirability of the virtual space is absurd. What's threatening is that racism is being dragged into virtual spaces.
