Greekgodx denies racism claims after being banned from Twitch Twitch\/GreekGodxGreekgodx is rebutting claims that he was banned from Twitch due to racism and says a clip of him appearing to mock an Asian family is a misunderstanding. On July 28, Greekgodx was hit with his second Twitch ban this month with his first expiring a few weeks earlier. The ban occurred shortly after a clip of Greek appearing to mock a family by speaking in an exaggerated Asian accent spread on Reddit\u2019s popular LiveStreamFail section. The clip quickly reached the top of the subreddit with thousands of upvotes. After his ban, many viewers suspected his alleged mockery was the reason for Twitch taking action, but Greek was dismissed those claims, saying he wasn\u2019t being racist in that clip. Greekgodx denies being racist in viral Twitch clip On Twitter, Greek quoted a since-deleted tweet by esports journalist Jake Lucky claiming that he had mocked an Asian family. \u201cThis is funny because that wasn\u2019t an Asian family,\u201d he said. \u201cThat was a Greek family speaking Greek. And to assume that they are Asian is very wrong in itself. My family members are Asian why would I be racist to the people who brought me up.\u201d Greek went on to add he was just making \u201crandom noises\u201d and they were completely unrelated to the family in the clip. Greekgodx has since clarified that he was banned on Twitch due to hateful conduct, but says he is currently trying to appeal the decision. Twitch themselves never comment on an individual\u2019s ban. The length of Greekgodx\u2019s ban is just for two weeks, so expect to see him back on Twitch in August, pending a super fast appeal from Twitch, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
