Or: the construction of language and how even the very words we use in the English language are appropriated and created by white people. Why do you think black people invented rap and hip hop and a form of expression? You can be racist to white people if you're insulting them in Chinese or Korean or in a different language. Trying to insult white people by making a slang or word in their own languages is sort of a joke | ||

Calling someone a nigger or a gook has a very specific connotation of dominance and dehumanization. Calling someone a cracker--especially in a heavily privileged white social group such as the US or Europe--does not insult anyone because they are being defined and labeled as the superior group. It's still a racist thing to say--but it's not a very offensive weapon in comparison to nigger or gook. | ||

Nigger - used as a racist word for black people who were slaves for hundreds of years Gook - started in the korean war, but mainly used against vietnamese soldiers that US soldiers killed Cracker - kinda funny word that doesnt mean anything besides the similarity between cracker color and skin color of white people I'm an asian and I find it funny if people call me any sort of asian slur. Like slant-eyes. The way you've defined the words above are your interpretation. If you say that "racist words" shouldn't be used, you have to be consistent. | ||

Edit- Ok he used 'fag-like'. but the point still stands IMO. And 'cancerdog' is pretty offensive towards people with cancer.

So those people are worse than a disease that kills millions every year? The silent majority is free to let Razer know they support Destiny calling people niggers and gooks. Let me know how it goes. | ||

Luis Suarez was banned for eight matches for racial abuse earlier this year on little more evidence than the word of an opposing team member and the fact an FA panel felt that his testimony was the weaker of the two. John Terry is due in court on a similar racism charge, with only a little extra evidence. Offensive language like that is taken very seriously from public figures in sport. As it should be. Wow so a few suspension from games in real, physical actual professional sports equates to getting a gamer fired, or forced to resign from his team. When did e-sports get so big that they can afford to do this? | ||

Anyone up for writing to 4K and their sponsors(http://www.four-kings.com/partners) and telling them how we don't approve of his homophobic language etc? The reason no one cares is because Warden is a no name who doesn't really have any fans or haters of any significant magnitude. And the only reason Destiny got shit for it is because the majority of the whiners are butt-hurt haters who just want to see him fail. | ||

Go ahead, but the most that warden would get is a slap on the wrist, for a couple reasons. First, he wasn't targeting someone gay and calling them a faggot because he knew they were gay. Also, it's a lot more socially acceptable to say "faggot" because the definition of faggot has been blurred recently, since a lot of people are using it to mean "something annoying" rather than a "homosexual person". | ||

If it doesn't bother them, then it shouldn't bother anyone. If it does bother them, then it should bother everyone. I'm pretty certain most of the people who are against Destiny right now are not offended by the word gook. They're offended by racist behavior. So Destiny calling someone a gook did not offend them as much as Destiny maliciously attacking someone with racist remarks. Why? Because of the belief and understanding that a community must at least try to not be bigoted. It's a philosophical difference. Most people who are defending Destiny do not do so because they believe that everyone deserves or doesn't deserve to be called gooks. They defend destiny because gook and nigger doesn't offend them and they find it strange that other people might see the world differently than them. It's common in most conservatives in the US. | ||

Don't get me wrong, racism shouldn't be allowed, but we're all humans, and we all got our temper, and using the ban-hammer and emailing the sponsors thus hurting the whole community on the behave of a single player is short minded. Destiny doesn't say it cause he lost his temper once or twice in the heat of the moment. He says it, defends it afterwards and refuses to apologize. There's quite the difference. It's intentional and without discretion. And yes, there is a big difference between just generic insults and racism, although I think any sponsored player would be wise not to rage at people. | ||
