Honestly why would there be a need to bring up any race, sexism, religion or disability in the forums?
They are all used as slurs and add nothing at all to the context.
If the ISD want something to wet their teeth on it should be this.
Clean up the forums just remove any reference to race(excluding the in game races), sexism, religion(excluding the in game religions) or disability. We are talking about a space game with an Lore to it. Not the current biases and hatreds on earth atm.
If you want to argue a point do so but calling someone a racial stereotype or listing disabilities as insults do nothing to enhance the game. It just makes us all look like hate mongers, CCP included for allowing this crap to remain on their forums.

We are such a lot of friendly people. 
We can turn a discussion about antisemitism into a racist slur contest.

the thing is, people are just looking at what an individual word means and start crying about it rather than looking at the context of the entire scentence/paragraph/article/whatever. the simple fact is when some one glances at a sentence and sees "jew" "jewing" etc, they instantly know it's about making isk where as just isk alone has a multitude of meanings. when you're in the game, nobody gives a toss if you're as white as milk, as black as the ace of spades, or pray in the direction of mecca 5 times a day, people just don't care about that. hence it leaves these kind of words free to use in a totally different context. the simple thing is, the use of the word/phrase in this context allows people to convey more information in a more efficient way. that in itself really isn't a need to start crying.
infact, a few months ago my friend said to me "ever since i started working i've been really jewish with my money" i instantly knew he'd been spending less and saving more and it was faster for him to say that because it just conveyed more information to me without him explaining his entire financial situation to me.
then again i'm just bitter and think all religion should be banned because it's ******* moronic, but there we go.
So why do you need the racial/religious stereo type? They could just as easily be called isk hoarders without the racial slur being involved.
There are an awful lot of racial slurs which by there nature pick on one race or religion or for that mater the disabled. Everyone else may think there funny even members of the community being made fun of but some people will be offended and frankly the need to use racial/religious/disabled slurs does not really add anything, it detracts from any appearance of intelligence in an argument.
Also adding to this the servers location in England requires the use of English law to govern slurs of this nature.
So enough with the racial/religious/disabled slurs they are a stain on this great game.

You forgot to mention it's the law.

I think it just got ignored. Apparently it is a view held by a select group of fools these days.
