uh I was in mcpt and then you know I I

wasn't big bro it was like 100 200 Subs

but at the time I'm like 12 13

I

uh I was doing all right I was so I

chilling right so then I joined a group

group's name you probably see on the

channel but I joined that group right oh

my this way back and remember I'm I'm

young I'm

uh got tell I'm young I'm like 13 now 14

so I didn't give a [ __ ] I was just

giving them all my details I I would

send them my so basically what happened

was I was just open my full name was

um I I show them pictures of me and I

was just like chilling but the thing is

they would make like weird jokes you

know like it's

like f like they're trying to be racist

but in a funny way you know what I mean

so it was like

uh I think

they you know but I was long I thought

it was joking around and then it came to

a point where one of the members

um like we got not a sponsorship but

like a deal for little Minecraft toy of

your uh like character right so I gave

them my address cuz I thought I was

going to get it and I was young I really

like Minecraft so I gave them my address

and

then that was it and then the next day

or like a couple days later they said

we're going to do a stream get a camera

I got a little camera put my face cam on

and uh they're making jokes like oh look

at this Monkey kind of ironic but look

at this monkey and [ __ ]

and it gets you especially when you're a

kid right and you're just trying to put

it off but then eventually

um I was like [ __ ] this bro so then I I

told him like I want to leave I don't

want to do this anymore but then uh the

next not when I say next day I'm not

sure exactly of the dates but they sent

me a letter and I remember it came to my

house saying uh if you guys know what a

py is you know it's a racist it's a

racist term like you know towards Asians

towards Asians like the n word you know

like that similar so there was all dirt

in it like they put like the mud in it

and they said k y s p a py right

obviously so at that point I was like

[ __ ] bro like [ __ ] with this [ __ ] I

deleted everything the

Twitter the thing and uh then I was like

okay whatever and then I left I

Disappeared you know toxic was gone then

I promised myself that day that I would

never show my face on the internet ever

again right because I I want to protect

my my mom my dad my sister most

important things to me right and

the addressing

obviously eventually we moved but not CU

of that but so that address is gone now

but you know it was a bit like what the

[ __ ] so then I

uh so then if you notice after a while

so about a year or two like 16 17 I made

rated epics and the reason I made it is

cuz I was a mod for a guy named Castro

and playing FIFA and I wanted to make

account and I actually was watching Jay

at the time and it was actually Jay this

is J fcking the be that introduced me to

uh no pixel right and again I created a

r epics I was on no pixel and I wasn't

streaming or anything but I thought [ __ ]

it I'll do one stream right this was

completely dead and in my chat comes so

in Minecraft there's a term like when

you say easy someone's just [ __ ] at the

game right so there's a if you I can

actually show you guys this the first

ever ban in my Channel or like top 10

it's Neil the easy py right and I'm like

how the [ __ ] did they find me so then I

it was one stream and I blocked the user

he's

gone and

uh and then

uh and then I uh I was like [ __ ] it and

I didn't stream for a long long long

time and eventually they just

disappeared left me alone and then I

started playing no

pixel and then you know obviously I met

Uh Kevin and everyone everyone whatever

you know in no pixel and we create a

group and I was just listen I was just

scared you know that's why if you watch

my if you've been watching me at the

start like the first year in like 2 3

years I was very very like if anyone

asked me what race I was or anything I

would just either like brush it off or

just say nothing and be like nah we

don't have to talk about it right and I

was very like timid and I didn't want

the same thing to repeat and let me get

this clear there was no indication of

anything repeating right nothing nothing

when I it just tra when I joined CG but

in my head I'm like [ __ ] bro if I what

if it happens again right it didn't

happen and I appreciate them a lot and

obviously things happened it's whatever

but then about like one to two 3 years

in I think if you guys watch I was on

playing no pixel

India and I started getting more

confident I started being more like just

me and I think after a while you guys

realize okay like you know whatever like

this guy is an Indian from UK whatever

whatever

So

eventually like had good people around

me you know like Poney and uh you know

other people as well and I got a lot

more confident you know and obviously I

was going to do a face Ral before like

you know but [ __ ] happens

but that's pretty much why I was it's a

stupid thinking about now it's a stupid

reason but how did you get now huh what

did you want to R now I'll be honest BR

the reason I want to review now is

one I do en enjoy streaming and I uh I

want to do new content and this past

lot of people that goes goes through a

lot racism but you got to be proud of

yourself where you come from it's and

you should always be openminded and
