There is quite a difference between a guild in a video game role playing superiority over all other races in the game (largely based off of lore from the game creators themselves) and people in said video game sending personal tells about "watermelon and grape soda har har har" would you not agree?
I'd say normalizing the rhetoric of racial supremacy is bad enough on its own and doesn't need to be minimalized by abject comparison.

I have always been fascinated by the over generalized, nebulous and ambiguous terms of the marxist. What is "racial supremacy"? If you're claiming that anyone else is claiming they are "superior", who and what are they claiming they are superior with?

Let's start with the non existent "white supremacist" since in current year it is constantly thrown around. What are people claiming these whites assert they are "superior" about? Are you saying they are just going around saying they are superior because "reasons"? That seems a bit vague.

Maybe I can help you with your fuzzy perspective. Nobody seems to argue against the fact that greyhounds run fast, that great danes are large, or german shepherds are smart. Ok, now which is "superior"?

Normal people that haven't been inundated with marxist conditioning would say, "Well that depends on the task they are performing." SOOOOO, don't Erudites boast the highest INT in the game? Do they have "superior intelligence"? My guess is that you would have to concede that they do, right?

It is bizarre how people are so inculcated to find race and oppression behind every nook and cranny that they (You) would draw a parallel with a fictional race called Erudites with Black Africans simply because they share similar colors. Isn't that what marxists would consider racism? Leftists are just saturated with hypocrisy to the point that without hypocrisy leftists would cease to exist.

Do we ever hear from people like you that basketball is "racist" because there isn't racial parity? Nooooooooooope. Yet, the second one, and only one group is represented higher than another, it is "structural institutionalized inherent privileged racism of constructed bigotry of institutions" (Despite seeing the same stats worldwide) or some other bullshit pseudo-intellectual gibberish that sounds amazing to the demoralized self deprecating useful idiot. Same can be said with "Men commit more crime than women". No problems there making "stereotypes". However, when one particular demographic commits over half the murder then all of a sudden people like you refuse to get to the root causes and would rather say "That is an unfair stereotype because group B does it too". This world has become so batshit retarded that somehow anecdotal evidence is proof of anything. 1 out of 100 is the same as 99 out of 100. The only consistency is hating one group and excusing every other.

So now, I ask you, what is "racial supremacy" and who is claiming it and what metric are you saying they are claiming supremacy about? Then we can compare notes.

By the way "The only consistency is hating one group and excusing every other." Has been academically codified as "intersectionality". The West is terminal.

Heather Heyer might disagree if she hadn't been killed by a white supremacist during the rally in Charlottesville.

Is this what would be called a virtual circle jerk? I think I need a shower to wash off all this man on man action after seeing it. Gross.

Well the thing about racism is that there's no real definition. Everything in the world is made up. And as for racism, it's a completely nebulous cloud of subjective interpretation in everyone's individual bubbles which we all catapult our opinions from. It's generalized and it's more of a feeling. It's more nuance and art than science. A permeation that pervades society in wilty whispy whispers. And if you were determined to show this you can find racism/discrimination if you grab any large dataset and get to work.

I'm not talking about overt racial prejudice. We all know what that shit looks like. What I'm talking about is that everyone kind of has their own different idea of what "racism" is, and it's much more subtle because it has to be. It got beaten down from loud and proud to hushed tone and murmurs.

The way I look at racism is kind of like playing a game that has a luck score. And when you're experiencing racism, you're experiencing bad luck.

You get less benefit of doubt. Your dice rolls on job offers are lower. People treat you differently. You get paid more attention to in stores. Sometimes people cross streets to avoid you. People don't make eye contact with you. Basically, take every situation you can think of, and then imagine if it just went slightly worse.. and curve it down like 10-20%. And that's how I view racism. Just a torporific slothy net that gets thrown on top of society by dumb dumbs and closed minded people. Basically, shit just doesn't go your way.

So there's like all these people that want to go all "yahooooooooo raaaace war!!!!!" but they can't because that's dumb and smart people have told them that's dumb. So those feelings people have get pushed down and compressed cause they were told they can't do that whole race war thing and then they just leak out in tiny little seemingly innocuous ways. Because nobody honestly believes racism is completely gone, so it has to go somewhere, so it'll go to the paths of least resistance. Letting off steam like little poofs of smoke in the name of Jamal the erudite or Tupac.

Go find me a white person named Jamal.

Y'all roleplayin proud angry black people

ain't no one fooled

There's one kind, its hatred and there's none of that here.

Except for Antonicans.

That ship has sailed lol, didn't wind up going with Erudite at char creation. Would have app'd had I known probably.

I consider a few of your members colleague scholars and allies though, which is a cool middle ground of sorts.
