Sure do. My fathers side loves the redskins. They all come from the blackfoot confederacy. Then again they still think black people are born from buffalo.

In light of the patent office recent decision to terminate the intellectual property rights of the Washington Redskins franchise, I thought it was interesting that political correctness is alive and well here on P99 as well. Perhaps it is classic (See the Erudite Race).

Anyways, TMO's very own Spaniard VonHammer was informed by Derubael that his name was racist and therefore he must change it. His Shaman alt's name, Hielo Negro, means "Black Ice" Ice spanish, which is the name of a ACDC song. Because Americans still have a lot of guilt over slavery, it is apparently offensive to refer to anything by color. Hence, any use of the word black, brown, yellow, or red for identification of a people group is now considered offensive (even though those people uses it for self-identification).

Derubael apparently has taken it a step further--simply using the spanish form of black in any context whatsoever is racist (because of the history of the spanish form). I'm not sure anyone would claim it offensive if he used the name "Black Ice" for his toon.

That said, it is ironic that because of our fear of offending one group, we are willing to offend another by treating them differently, and refusing to permit them to use a spanish name, where it would be allowed if they used it in the English.

Thoughts?

As a matter of fact, America is one of the countries in the world that is least prone to feeling like it's offensive to refer to people as their color. The word "black" in pretty much any language but English is literally a racial slur if you're using it to describe a person. Like when I was in Sweden, I actually got yelled at for referring to someone as "a black guy" even though I was just referring to him as a black guy because he was black, not in any sort of racist way.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing about Tiggles. If that is one of your Characters names, then that kind of goes against your post. Unless its a fantasy reference I just haven't heard of. Definitely possible.

Tiggles Stormborne, the forgotten retarded younger brother of Visaerys and Daenerys who spends all day walking around telling people who don't give a shit lies about how his family is so great they kill dragons just to delete their loot so other people can't get it

Any made-up name is fantasy inspired, Tiggles included.

It was andro who called deru a racist not the other way around.

Andro has a long history of being a racist piece of shit who will call anyone who disagrees with him a racist. Even if its true in how it went down, naming yourself after an AC/DC song is against the naming convention no matter what language you hide it under.

Andro thinks that if you tell him to speak fucking English in game with 99% English speakers you are a racist for oppressing him. If you try and give him any critism he will turn it into a race/language issue to give him an reason to spout his inane sexual bullshit.

the pokemon shit speaks of racism.

Not trying to be mean or insulting, I understand English isn't your first language so I was hoping you could explain what you mean by "waxed alive." Are you referring to like, spa waxing, where they yank peoples' pubic hair out?
