"Ohh my, he said the N-word, let's burn him at a stake" The apartheid in South Africa was racism, so what the genocide in Rwanda. This is the use of one word being taken entirely out of context. I'm sure most rational people will agree with me here. | ||

People like this shouldn't be in community. Yea everyone is raging I agree. But using words like "nigger clan" is rly low league and clas... You can call someone f*** idiot but not dumb nigger People on internet should start get punished for that kind of shit.. Wonder if he is so retarded in real life too... calling other people niggers... There should be some standards... eSports... wonder if he would cast for TV station... how their decision woluld be. | ||

Regardless, it's pretty unprofessional of him. To people saying "who cares", I care. His actions are distasteful and set a poor example for others. | ||

Its him lying in front of the whole community saying this didn't happen often, it was another player on his account. | ||

If he had just come out and said: yes it was me and I'm sorry I didnt mean it in a racist context, I will now not continue using this kind of language, then the community would have gotten over this a while ago. | ||

You're drawing a line that suits you, racism isnt "worse" than talking smack about anything else you're born with and can't change. The history of profound violence and sorrow tied up with racism and racist language is WORLDS removed from, say, being left handed. I found your statement silly. | ||

When do you think it is ever appropriate to use racist language like that? Never. If you are trying to represent the community you simply cannot do it. Almost reminds me of the guy last week from the FGC that said sexism is an inherit part of the FGC and should be embraced. I get frustrated on the ladder like everyone else but every game ends with me saying "GG." I don't even represent the community. I'm not saying he has to be calm after every loss but using language like this should be unacceptable. If he had used the word faggot (which he did actually according to some of those pics) nobody would have said anything. But yeah, only the "nigger" part is relevant because he is showing blatant "racism". Either the whole community doesn't accept any kind of inapropriate language coming from public figures (and so everybody just stop saying faggot every now and then), or the community agrees on the idea that some people can rage some time and just get over one or two insults in a ladder game. Is nigger a common insult in america ? | ||

I mean seriously.. Being called a racist much worse than being called a rude person | ||
