Takes MMOC to link the Leeroy Jenkins Clip to racism.
I was genuinely shocked it was staged.

Wait...people thought it was real? What.
So it's pretty much always been known to be staged. I have it from a pretty reliable source that played with someone who was actually in that guild, though much much later, that it was based on something that actually happened. This person hated "Leeroy" (which wasn't the actual character's name, I think) and hated how popular it became. It was meant as a recruitment ad, that's why they played everything up for comedy. The message was supposed to be to stop playing with guys like Leeroy and raid with us.
Leroy Jenkins was absolutely hilarious back during Classic WoW, but I had no idea people thought (this whole time) it was something that wasn't staged, that in itself is the twist here!
Great new Leroy video though, always nice to see the original cast back for some more antics. I laughed out loud when Leroy ran back into the main hall.

Urban dictionary has it pretty high, and well, you can read the definition.

Has it african american/french.
It also got used in comedy a lot in the 50s and 60s from what googleing is coming up with to refer to a black person, predominately by black people though.
To you and a certain segment of the population sure. Some people get off on acting superior and denigrating others races and cultures then pretend to be offended the other way around.
Yeah I’ll take a hard pass on black comics that hated themselves enough to shuck and jive for the amusement of those that looked down on them.
Makes sense why many had to be so drugged up. Shit even Richard Pryor setting himself on fire.

Big deal. It's still funny.
I thought everyone knew it was staged since like 2008 or earlier, of course it's still funny. I was under the impression everyone knew it was fake, they didn't exactly keep it quiet.. If they wanted you to think it was real they surely would not have posted the outtakes for you to enjoy.
