Ridiculous ban

[Pelaaja]

So mr. azarael bans me for racism for saying "Pelaaja: why is spawn full of stupid looking whiteboys" when there are some strange white skinned bots camping in spawn doing nothing? How the hell is that racist? Azarel needs to retune his racisms detector and remove this ban.

[Azarael]

Racism against whites is still racism.

"White boy" or "white boys", a racial slur against white males (regardless of age) used most often by African Americans

Cya in 7.

So we are supposed to keep a dictionary at hand incase something we say might be seen racist by someone? I was referring to the white skinned dudes at spawn, i had no idea someone could see that racist.

Well, the pawns have the default texture on them (the white bubbles texture), so they actually are literally white. I don't think this has anything to do with racism either.

Native speaker.

I also think it's a bit harsh; if bots are white and they have boy skins, they are "white boys"... Then if the context was an argument or something I can understand.

Also racism against bots

But if you say he's a native speaker, he probably knows what he was saying...

[Azarael]

I actually meant that as a native speaker, I'm more familiar with what people actually would say in this situation. You call someone a whiteboy (conjoined like that) as a slur. White boy could be used unoffensively towards a boy who is white, but that's clearly not what was meant in this case. Consider also "stupid-looking", the whole phrase was intended to be negative.

[Pelaaja]

Im not a native speaker and to me that had nothing to do with racism. The bots were just standing at spawn and looked silly. I didnt know why they were there and thought maybe its a bug and asked about it.

Consider using "stupid looking bots" or "stupid looking players" next time and you shouldn't have any issues

Also racism against bots

Is it only racism if there is someone to be offended by it?

[iZumo]

I get your point but you're kinda negatively biased though. He's describing a male figure, that is stupid looking (texture, pose) and white. For a non-native speaker the difference in the conjunction isn't as obvious (pretty much I didn't realize it until you posted).
