EA/Bioware is racist

[crawdaddy029]

I was just banned for 24 hours for naming my toon after my spanish grandmother that recently passed away. I made a forum post on SWTOR.com about it and it was deleted thus proving that they are a racist company. Please help spread the word and put a stop to racism.

What was the name?

[obdigore]

And what was your toons name? Why don't you copy/paste your email about being banned as well.

Are you serious? Give us more details aside from "Grandmother name, they deleted it, they are racist." That proves nothing, you didn't provide the e-mail, a screenshot, a link, what the name was, etc. ...seriously?

Her name was Sandi Fajina. I had to name change it already for unknown reasons at the time but now I know it was racism.

Hm. What's your grandfathers name

[Balrogia]

Words mean different things in other languages. It doesn't matter if its fine in one language it can mean something terrible in another. Besides Spanish is not a race.
Don't be so quick to pull the racist card.

edit: Besides that name was taken down because it sounds dirty not racist.

[NatePsy]

It's not racist, because it sounds offensive. Sandy Vagina, no offense to your Grandmother, but it will come off offensive to players.

[Romire]

Its a nice memory name for you im sure

But i cant see this being racist, maybe someone being a button pusher reported it.

If EA is like WoW you should be able to appeal it

To you it may not sound that way, but to some people it will.

Spanish are not a race. Latina is.

[Zogarth]

Sandi Fajina = Sandy Vagina... get it already, it is the same of one of my friends who named a char Grapist. Sounds like rapist... Get it already, it sounds offensive in ENGLISH, and english is the primary language of the game.

[obdigore]

I can't tell if you are trolling or being obtuse in not realizing that it does sound/look like Sandy Vagina in english.

I don't think it was racist for them to change it.
