Hi Miranda,
Just wanted to let you know we really appreciate your review for modern round. We came in and sat down and the couple next to us were playing the military that involved shooting Arabs. We took a big offense to it being Muslim and Arabs ourselves. Seeing these kinds of games that just reinforce stereotypes is so hard and to go on Yelp find your review was a nice breath or air. Thank you for using your voice even if you were the only one.
When i arrived to this place I was very excised. I've grown up with guns all my life and thought it was really clever idea. The food the service was exceptional.
The reason my review is the lowest possible is because of one issues that really doesn't sit well with me. The games they have for option have zombie scenarios, fishing, hunting, robbery ect. One of the options is live scenarios of war. It show a Muslim man wearing a hijab kidnapping people and you have to shoot them. I found this extremely racist and disturbing. I get that is live war scenario. However i didn't see Natzi soldiers or Viet Kong. Even if they were in live scenario as well that would completely be inappropriate and wrong. That's how you raise hate in each others eyes by targeting a specific race.I have hard working friends of that culture that are AMERICAN and are afraid to even wear their Hijab out in public without being targeted for a hate crime.
Call of Duty is a war game a and your fighting against other soldiers no race is distinguished between enemies.
I strongly encourage Modern Round to eliminate the games that target hate and racism towards the Muslim Community.
