Is This Studying Hate Speech, Or Just Intellectualized Trolling?

GAMBIT, the video games research centre at MIT, is investigating racism and hate speech in online multiplayer gaming. The results are not particularly surprising, but I’ll confess to a morbid curiosity as to what a gamer would hear playing Halo: Reach under the gamertag PROUD_2B_MUSLIM, GayPride90 or Black_N_Proud90. It, and the language in this video, is decisively NSFW.
