-Calling each other names (as in other players) is not the same thing as a character thinking ill of an NPC based on appearance and expressing that opinion. Did the player direct this at any character in particular? To another player? No. People taking offense to this would be sympathising with a three word NPC character that won't even exist long enough to see the sun go down.
Irrelevant. If you called your black friend the N-word because you're bosom buddies, does that mean another black man walking by can't take offence? The racist slur was said within the hearing of a dozen or more people, therefore they have the right to take offence.
-D'Haran or Arcaean aren't races. Even in BM we would expect people to be causasian, asian, african, ... In real life racism isn't fair because you can't change the colour of your skin, but in BM you can do just that.
So racism is okay if people can change their skin colour? Huh?
As long as we, as a community, assure not one single race is being targetted consistently, I can't see a problem with IC racism.
So racism is okay as long as all races cop it? No. Calling black people the N-word isn't okay just because Asian people get called slant eyes or white men near children are assumed to be paedophiles. It's
all wrong.
