Pic thanks to Replays.hu always providing us with replays, replays packs and funny pics. This one is of course racist even though it is done in honor of humor. I do not know who the author is.

Chatting with geoff about neo-nazi symbolism, I was reminded of an old humorous debate. Is StarCraft racist? Not many black characters, and the few that we can find occupy negative or lowly positions of SCV. Women too don't fare much better. There are several quotes also that at to say the least odd.
Back to the word honor. The Warcraft Book written by Blizzard's Chris Metzen himself http://www.blizzard.co.uk/books/WarcraftOBH.shtml uses the title WarCraft: Of Blood and Honor. The choice of words in reminiscent of the very motto of Hitlerjungend, i.e. Hitler's Youth had it engraved in the uniform blades, which was supposed to highlight the "never surrender" spirit. . Blood and Honor happens also to be one of largest neo-Nazi militant networks today that coincidentally was born out of a lose associations of punk, metal bands & its fans initially.

Everyone knows too that a few at Blizzard from part of the band called "Level 60 Elite Tauren Chieftain." (a heavy metal band with punk affinity)
This is from their most famous song..
"Farseer to the Warsong clan,
To no matter will I kneel.
Feel the power and the energy,
For the black blood, honor and steel."

The word horde too has often been used as an adjective to describe Nazi members:
"The Nazi Horde." But this is an even older story, as it goes all the way back to the Lord of the Rings and Tolkein **

blah blah.. I get carried away in my boredom sometimes. ..

Some one brought this old debate at newsground and did not get too much sympathy from the forum members. Some of the replies are funny, some not. Let me quote his post:
Posted by Mop-Top (I hope it is not Testie) Starcraft is Sexist and Racist.
1)There was only 2 black people in the whole game
2)1 black was an insignificant worker
3)The other seems to be evil (betrayed UED, helped Kerrigan, and now mixing different species genes.
4)The only girls were a medic, transport, and valkeries and a robot (Which isn't exactly human)
5)Everyone seemed to be a bit redneck
I don't think the firebat is black. I'm pretty sure he ain't.
