It's really very simple:

IC racism, etc. is perfectly ok AS LONG AS BOTH PARTIES a) CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS IC and b) ARE OK WITH IT.

And it's your job to make sure about the other party BEFOREHAND.


I'm a post-feminism, post-racism white male. I have no idea what it is like to be the subject of racism, and neither do I give the whole topic much thought, because I think discrimination is just a stupid fad of the past, like the belief the earth is flat or that gods exist. But I understand that these can be touchy subject to those more involved, so I don't want to see OOC racism and I understand some people might not want to see IC racism, and please respect their wishes, just like we have a guideline that says while religion is a part of the game, please keep your real world religion out of it.
