Just because you think this is cut and dry doesn't make it so. You your self said don't be easily offended, which is what everyone who is getting pissed about someone who has iffy english skills didn't know that a description of a race to by him was considered racist by other people. Publish a list of terms that are unacceptable or quit complaining that people are using obviously racist terms when it isn't obvious to several members of this thread and likely many more IG. People shouldn't be required to look up every word they type in urbandictionary.com to make sure some !@#$%^& isn't using it to discriminate against people when as stated, their are many different cultures interacting in this game thus its not going to be obvious that words that actually describe people is seen as racist to others.
We will never publish any specific list of terms that are unacceptable. The yardstick is and remains whether or not someone else considers what you said to be offensive. If so, that person should contact you with their concerns and then you should attempt to work it out with them. If the issue cannot be resolved by direct discussions between the two parties, it can be brought here by the offended party.
This case skipped the step where the players attempt to work it out themselves. We will rule on it, but a warning is likely what to expect given that no one made any attempt to contact Kas with their concerns prior to coming here (and thereby gave him no chance to explain himself or otherwise make amends), combined with the other extenuating factors. That said, enough people viewed the comment as offensive that I think it's justified to issue a warning.
