Yeah, because in the Middle Ages nobody was racist at all. Nope. All races were equal, and interracial communities thrived and prospered all over the world. Such a shame someone would go as far as to IMPLY a pseudo-racist remark on an NPC in a SMA setting...
Come on guys, we're not kids. I've seen stuff much worse than this being said in the SA channel, and everyone understood that it was just an IC thing. Why not now?
Because when making comments that could be taken as racist, you have to consider your audience. You might mess around with your Asian friends about "slant eyes" or "round eyes", but would you go along to the National Conference of Asian American Professionals and make a slant eyes joke? Probably not. You don't know all of the people you're playing with, so the smart thing to do would be to stay away from anything that could be construed as racist. Talking about "slanted eyes" most certainly qualifies. Where I live that would be considered a racist insult.
