Other races can only create white characters. So according to your definition, is that not racist too?
Unlike real life, you have a choice of what race to make your character in Eve. I kinda like that.

It's been that way since 2003, so I'm not sure why this is suddenly an issue.

Nah, it's more like this: Imagine a Cops & Robbers MMO, where Cops could only be white or Asian, and robbers could also be white or Asian, but blacks... blacks can only be robbers.
Personally IMO I found CCP's decision a tad trite, but meh.

Yes TC, it is totally racist. In fact, even mentioning that some of the Minmatar might be black is rascist. Making certain groups look like asians is also racist.
The only way to not be racist is to never even mention race at all. Because suggesting or showing that anyone might be part of a different group of people is completely and utterly racist.
In case you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm. People like the OP drive me nuts. Hyper-sensitivity is just as bad, if not worse, than actual racism.

You are looking at it wrong, assuming there i racism where none exist.
It is obvious to any educated man that the dark skin shared by both the black slaves of old and Minmatar slaves has to do with Lamarckian inheritance of the trait. This is a trait that emerges frequently in poor and enslaved populations throughout history.

Edited by: Mijano on 20/01/2011 10:33:54 Edited by: Mijano on 20/01/2011 10:32:38 I'm pretty ****ed I can't be Caucasian. I cannot identify nor relate with a character of African descent, as I can with a Caucasian.
It's not 'racist' to allow different color-skinned characters - it's the opposite, but not allowing me a bloodline-change and/or a race-change is perhaps racism towards me. I don't know. It's like it would be 'wrong' to want to change to a white-color skinned character - Caucasian. ____ 'I'll die rather than yet again become a slave forgotten by history and forsaken by destiny.' |

Or you could say that only heroic freedom fighters can be black, while the evil tyrants are all white.

Posting in a Troll thread.
STOCK REPLY BELOW
ITT People with a shaky hold on the definition of racism choosing to selectively acknowledge trends in slavery in the last 500 years as opposed to the entire history of the human race.
Seriously, keep this stuff where it belongs (waste of money Sociology degrees and American style political lobbying via manipulation of the uneducated seem a good fit). For other examples of industrialised slavery (though less efficiently done, but equally inhumanely) see Mesopotamian cultures and Ancient Egypt.
EVERY race has, at some point, been enslaved by it's own or another.
It is always dreadful, it is always abhorrent, and in a game or work of fiction it is an exploration of man's cruelty to man.
Grow up and stop acting like you're the only morally superior, soapbox standing, liberal mouth-breather in the world. New banner soon! |

How come it's only white people simulating being offended on behalf of black people?
That's racist, I demand that black people starting acting offended at all the injustice us white folk have to endure(tm) daily.
