Yup. The silly thing is that xenophobia always had a strong evolutionary purpose and it's part of our genetically anchored behavior. It governs the natural selection between groups. A.k.a. tribes / races / nations / sport clubs / ingame corporations :P
Too bad a lot of people aren't aware of where xenophobic sentiments come from and that it doesn't really fit in our modern global society. Same with knocking down nice looking females on the street with wooden clubs and dragging them inside. You just shouldn't go there :)

That's what I've been doing wrong... Thanks for the info!
Too many people are too quick to pull the racism card. Pathetic to be honest.

Our? It is their "global society". And everyone not fitting in, applauding the enslavement and destruction of his kind is a racist, anti-semite, hatemonger whatnot. So be it.

I don't know about that guy, but I certainly have no problem with the south. I was born in Fort Worth after all.
The whole confederate flag thing is funny, though. It's hilarious that there are so many people that are so proud to be losers.

If you petition him, im sure the GM's will punish him for it.
However, seriously, who the hell cares. I mean, he's only making himself appear to be ignorant. Its just a word. You know that old saying 'sticks and stones...' well, seriously.... you arnt 5 years old, you should be capable of ignoring people who offend you.
If we ban every offensive phrase, word or action, we will end up in 1984. Racisim is stupid, but so is trying to punish people who are racist. let them be ignorant, dont sink to their level and try to fight them over it.

If you think the men in the south are a pain, wait til they find out you're really not a girl. I've seen movies about trannies in the south and I hope you keep the act limited to the interwebs.

I first and foremost apologise for my spelling and grammer in my original post I forgot to check it at the time.
I personally was not bothered by the Racism it just showed what an utter idiot he is, I was surprisingly enough actually just trying to let people know that this had happened as he could actually hurt someone by persistent use of the N word and a simile about faeces. For those of you who think its ok to be racist you clearly have less intelligence than a mollusc. I myself have moved on from this and reported him to CCP since ultimatly they do not tell anyone about the result of their investigations into racist behavior I thought this would be something of caution (since the word punishment does not really cover it correctly) anyway one last thing The American south's insistence on finding something to be proud of in a racially motivated war is rather baffling to outsiders (I.E me as I am English).

Originally by: Zed Jackelope Edited by: Zed Jackelope on 22/08/2009 18:35:46 Why are you so butthurt by someone's supposed prejudicial beliefs?
People like you are why racist comments are used so* much. If it didn't butthurt you so easily, it wouldn't be used.
tl;dr get over it
One cannot say whatever one chooses. There are laws, at least in the U.S., against rascist behavior, of which speech qualifies.
The normal response by me would be to knock the taste out of the rascist's mouth; but, most rascists are cowards anyway. Therefore, a form of legally sanctioned action should be brought forth to address the matter (once confirmed).
Real world rascist beliefs have no place ingame, at least if we players are to remain civil (regarding out-of-game speech used ingame/on the forums). Minmatar and Ammarr "hatred" is fictitious. These "peoples" do not exist, even if having been patterned on actual groups.
Calling me a Minmatar Slave will not gain the same response from me as calling me the "N" word.
And I'll ignore such nonesense when we stop being human. As long as I am allowed to (use a reverse punch to) knock the teeth out of the mouth of the clown saying it, you can tell me I should ignore it.
Allowing this to happen will increase, not DECREASE, its use.
You're wrong, thank you, come again.
There is no law against a person being a racist. There is no law against someone using racist words, there ARE laws against race being used as a basis of employment/education/etc.
If as one person to another I call you a slur, there is absolutely no legal recourse that you can take.
Racist comments and beliefs are protected under the 1st Amendment. K.K.K, Black Panthers, etc are proof enough of this.
And here's a newsflash my little liberal friend, most of the "racists" you see online are not racist. They simply like to use words that they know will ignite a response. They are trolls, nothing more.
Oh, and using physical force against someone because of the words they say? Now that is petty and a clear indication of a lack of intelligence. Grow a vocab and fight words with words. 
Also wanted to add: Did you know there is currently a professional sports team that's name was an incredibly offensive slur only a couple centuries ago? Do you know why that word is no longer offensive? Because the people stopped being so butthurt by its use, and started being proud of it.
tl;dr racism isn't illegal, stop being a pansy.
Apparently, you don't read so well. I think I mentioned rascist behavior as restricted by (certain) U.S. Laws. I know I posted that because I was present when I did it (you should grow a brain first).
I am not a Liberal, I am an African, Sparky. "Troll" or not, no one uses rascist rhetoric w/o it at least being, at some form, a part of such persons "character." Rascist rhetoric/slang/et, al, under any circumstances, is what it is: rascist language as a part of rascist behavior (in this case speech).
I am in the northern corridor of the U.S. because my maturnal grandfather and kin ( blessings to these Ancestors) took care of some rascists the good ol' fashioned way. I carry that glorious lineage w/in me, but will allow the "Laws" to do that for which they were constructed.
Should they fail, "incoming!"

Adolf ******'s sentiments exactly, just before he tossed some "non-'Aryans' (the fool wasn't even Aryan)" into the "Gasser."
BTW, did you know that rascist language is prohibited under CCP's forum rules of conduct. Post a rascist word here, and let's see what happens (if words are simply to be ignored). I am sure the Devs. want it to be known by patrons/future patrons that they tolerate rascist speech.

I detest and do not condone racism in any form. I also detest those that jump on the 'You're a racist' bandwagon, at the slightest opportunity.
Political correctness, actually make things worse in many situations. But it always boils down to one thing, treat others as you wish to be treated yourself.

This made me lol a little since the lack of response kinda showed that not to many from the deep south have participated in this conversation. You tell most southerners you're from texas, and they'll ask you how life is way out west.
I grant it was part of the confederacy and all... but tbh, texas isn't usually thought of as part of the south... maybe that's why they coined the term "deep south" :) keeps it exclusive.

Check your history, that war you are refering to wasnt racially motivated. It was started over state's rights, import tariff's and sectionalism. However because slavery is a very emotional subject and the emancipation proclamation was signed after the war was over people mistakenly assume that the war was fought over the issue of slavery. While slavery was one of the motivating issues for the souths secession it was not the only or the main one.

Its not racism, its prejudice. Get your isms right.
And southern women are the best women..
No, if it involves a stereotype based on race, i.e., white people are racist, then it is racism. But racism is a sub-category of bigotry. This I think we can agree on. _________________________________________________

On another MMO i played i had 2 black americans in my team..
Just like the rest of us they logged in and said hi,hello,yo and so on.. But when both was online the "wassup my N*****" came after the first hello..No one had a problem with that..They were real life mates and talked that way to each other..
But they went totally crazy when one guy logged in and said yo wassup my ******s to them..Cause he was a white boy..
He didnt mean anything with it, he was just trying to be "cool" like them.. I told them afterwards that as long as you guys keep calling each other ******s and we hear it often on tv and in music some people like him with a little shorter social antenna than most will think that using the N word towards you is ok..Also without thinking that it is a word with a ugly history behind it..
I think you were unlucky and met one of those guys..
