Exactly. The same at night, I log into my World of Warcraft account, and play-act like I'm a night elf druid, because it's fun.
It all comes down to the emotion management. My countrymen - and by extension me - have been called thieves and equated to animals countless times. My race has been blamed for all the evils in the world. Yet, I don't care - none of this has any potential to hurt me, it's just words on the internet and I'd rather follow the famous mantra of Tyler The Creator than pretend I'm being hurt somehow.
