Pokemon Go and the oppressive outside world

Uhm…November 15, 2012 was new? I’ve had an iPhone for at least five years before that… Hell, I’ve seen sub-$100 “ok-ish” smartphones at least as far back as 2012.

I’m waiting for someone to explain to me how this is a problem of minorities being excluded instead of handwaving around it. They weren’t excluded other than the fact that they needed a smartphone to play. I’ve stated that perhaps smartphone adoption was part of the issue but then I have people here telling me that minority ownership of said technology is not slight. So…

Also, Ingress is a worldwide game, not a “white folks only” European and North American game. I’ve played it in Thailand and Indonesia. There were portals in the major cities there and at various other places. How? Users submitted them (local users).

aka handwave

That’s true. Now tell me why mostly white people are playing, how that is a specific problem, and what you expect someone to do about it to fix it.
