Which is a long way to say 'casual racism but obfuscated enough to not raise most flags' which imo describes DMO pretty well.
I mean I disagree with this. I never saw any racist statements made by anyone in DMO. And using Ramal's name as an example I don't think really makes sense; even if I were to go name a black character in a game "Lamar Odom" I don't think that's racist in the same way naming a white character "Tom Brady" would be.

Personally, I think they chose Erudites more because the general lore around the Erudites allowed them to roleplay as superior to everyone else because the players IRL believe they are better than other members of the community. That's the real reason behind choosing Erudites; Erudites are snobbish and look down upon everyone else.
