I don't know how many times I or anyone else in D'Hara have related Lurians to traitorous bitches that are better dead than alive. That is racism (quite justified by the way) Will I be reported to the Magistrates if I continue to do so?

That's exactly my point- IC racism against IC races is one thing, and quite arguable for on the bases of medieval racism. However I have yet to see any evidence of the existence of an IC race with "slanted eyes and yellow skin" for Kas the character to IC hate on. The whole incident seems to have been entirely lifted word for word from OOC ethnic slurs, with little or no IC context, for some reason I cannot fathom.

If you want to argue for IC racism against IC races that's fine by me, but this does not seem the case here. Even in medieval rp I would expect players to have enough common sense not to use well known modern OOC slurs against specific OOC ethnic groups and randomly insert them in the game with no IC context.
