That's pretty racist on blizzard's part... if you filter black you also have to filter white, yellow and brown.

It's racist, yes, but it's merely a response to the racism of society in the first place. Who's the real culprit?

Totalitarian? I think this is taken out of context.

Think about Blizzard as a company that wants to sell a game that to an audience. Obviously, the larger the audience the better (more money). Restrictions such as "18+" rating or "contains drug content" or "explicit language" or "nudity" narrows an audience.

I doubt they would flat-out ban you if you purchased the game, just tell you to change your name (as they do in WoW)

because it's beta it's just less hassle for them to ban atm.

so... who cares really?

Banning over Dopeman is a bit harsh, however the policy is good and NECESSARY, do you want kids playing with people with names like PussyRocks, IFuckYourMomLongTime, etc. ?

I think not.
