when did google become the one stop shop to tell us whether or not something is racist? it seems to me that your whole argument revolves around the fact that google has 8 pages of information about The Holocaust when you search for "holocaust" before it shows anything NOT pertaining to it.

PS if you are actually wanting to argue by starting namecalling that's cool. I just fail to see why people are so willing to stand by some sort of political correctness when it is their own emotion that leads them to miscommunication in discourse. Holocaust is not a bad word. A guild named Holocaust does not make them Anti-Semitic. A guild named Gestapo would raise my eyebrow and probably result in a denial. I don't even know what the original thread was and I probably don't give a shit because the guy ended up being a whiny shitheel about it, but the point stands: you are assigning definition and emotion to a word usage that is unrelated.

every time a Japanese person hears the word adam and thinks of atom they cry, thus no one can be named Adam in Japan.

Holocaust and The Holocaust are not the same and anyone who thinks they are is part of the problem.

third page down:

http://www.coondawgs.com/

a website devoted to racoon hunting enthusiasts. clearly coon is less controversial than holocaust.

starting to get the feeling that pickled heretic really couldnt give 2 fucks less about the OP. instead he is having to much fun trolling. its the same fucking arguement over and over and over and over. i mean, does it really take 3 threads to discuss this? how many times do the GMs have to ignore you before you get the hint? Let me summarize for you, if it hasnt been changed yet, it isnt going to be. put preparation H on your asshole to stop the pain and move on, or better yet contact a civil rights group and let them laugh at the ludicrousness that your presenting... be sure to tell them your whole argument is based on google search.

If you took a majority vote about imprisoning Japanese-Americans in interim camps during WWII, the Japanese would have lost. Majority is insufficient with respect to racism that targets a minority.

At least 64 players find the name offensive. What more do the GMs need? Oh wait, we're playing on Project Nazi99.
