Orb was dropping n-bombs all over the webz but he isn't a racist. People just say stuff that's not always well thought out when they're upset. | ||

I would say 2% of the people that insult other with racials slurls actually mean it as an offense towards a race. 98% will use it because its super effective. Forcing a game to change all their skins on some enemies doesn't help you stop racism, especially on the internet it will just point trolls towards using this. So i guess this thread convinced a few more that they should research into this matter more, to insult the opponent in better ways. | ||

that show the player useing racial slurs and intending to insult minority players. And there is another problem. 99% of people who use racial slurs aren't intending to insult minority players. How do I know? Because you don't know the ethnicity of the person you are playing with. This idea is just bad. | ||

I think you are exacerbating an issue by giving it salience. | ||

in addition of course report them ingame, but I dont really think blizzard really does anything about that. edit: On March 31 2012 03:28 navy wrote: is everyone who uses a racial slur a racist of course. Why wouldn't one be a racist after using such words. Non racists dont think that way | ||

but, this is the internet and most of us aren't in middle school. People need to realize that regardless of what color your skin is or where you come from, people don't fucking know this on the internet and are going to call you every racial slur in the book regardless. Obviously, racial slurs on the internet doesn't mean someone is racist, it means they're a raging nerd that's trying to offend you (and you're letting them...). Sometimes I think racism is perpetuated more by the offended than the offenders. | ||
