The prosecution rests.
More like the judge, jury and executioner. You try so hard to see racism when there is none.

And they're all non-native speakers of varying degrees of skill, and I've reason to believe one of them has an axe to grind.

If Ebony_Eliminator and $Fo_Sho_Gangsta$ call each other nigga in greeting, few people would see racism. By the rules, however, they'd both get banned.

Is the intention even important here? Whiteboy or white boy, whether conjoined or not, is a racist term, and should be as bannable as any other ethnic slur.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=whiteboy

And the most popular meaning is
1.whiteboy
237 up, 83 down

Slang used by African-Americans to descripe someone who is white.
Go Whiteboy go whiteboy go!

Which is exactly what i did, described a white bot. Except im not african american. There was nothing racist said.
I dont have a problem being banned if i've broken the rules but thats not the case here.

Urbandictionary isn't exactly that great a reference, but the definition that's actually the most popular is the following:
1. white boy 3315 up, 869 down

the slang term for white people used by black people, the same black people that would get offended if a white person called them a nigger

Must point out that there are two separate entries in UrbanDict and the most upvoted is not necessarily the most accurate definition.
