    I dont say that i laugh about the Holocaust name it was a horrible thing and that there are people who deny that it ever happened makes me Rage a lot. But i can tell that my jewishs friends arend offended by Nazis jokes are by Jew jokes or stuff neither am i and i am half Jewish so i dont know what the worlds problem is it happened but it happened a long time ago we should just forget it.

    If you name your worgen "Negrow" (or some variation with alt code letters) do you think that you will get hit with the ban stick and/or have to change your name?

    Yeah, I've had those situations before. I don't tell any ethnic jokes of any kind myself, but I have a friend who used to. And that friend became friends with my other friend that happens to be black. And before he would tell black jokes, he would ask my friend if it was alright and that he didn't mean anything by it. My black friend was totally cool with it and even laughed at the jokes. My friend would tell all kinds of stupid and gross jokes though, it's not like he sat around telling black jokes all day or anything.

    Lykwha- There is more stupidity in the world than you know.

    Actually there is a used non-racist meaning of "negro". A Hungarian candy is called Negro and there's nothing wrong with it.


    There's also a country called Montenegro which means black mountain.

    http://www.uncf.org/ this is the website of the United Negro College Fund, Inc. Is that a group of racist bastards? Come on... some people get offended by anything..

    I don't see what's wrong with the word "negro" it's just the colour in latin "negroid", although there would possibly be some people who'd get offensive about it, and report you, resulting in you changing your name.
    stop the elitism

    So as an African person, this does not offend you then. I think that what people are saying is that it is offensive over here because in the USA black people have a lot different history than they do in Africa. (I'm sure that you probably know that, but I don't know how old you are, so I don't know exactly what you know about other countries yet) Over here, Negro is what black people were called before they were called black or african american. It was deemed offensive, as you can see if you look at a USA based dictionary. Without getting into it too much, that's pretty much how it goes.

    Sorry if you already knew that, but like I said, I don't know you- so I don't know everything that you know.

    Oh wow, what the hell even prompted you to even say something like that? That would totally be the last thing that I would say to a black person, especially to one that I didn't know very well!

    Ah, I just realized that you are EU. But had you heard of that before? If you hadn't, that's kind of a random thing to say to someone. You must have heard of that before, in which case I don't even see why you would have said it.

    Thanks for letting us know. I was pretty sure that some languages still used it in that way. The only other language I know what the color black is is in french since I had to take that when I was in high school. "Noir".

    I probably did, his writing was a little hard for me to get. But that's alright, it's not his first language, so that will happen. What did you get from his post?

    No, it's not "interesting". It's childish and inane...but this is WoW, and I've seen worse, so meh.
    I quit the game, and this happens:
    "You can now mount while under the skeleton effect of the Noggenfogger Elixir!"
    Are you effing kidding me?!?!

    No, I am not anti-semite, I am not a racist, but I am full of this bullshit propaganda. Can you people leave WoW out of it for a second? Take your political agenda somewhere else and cry your eyes out about the holocaust, or how bad it is to be black (ironically the most powerfull man on planet happens to be black).
    So quit your f* crying, and take WoW for what it is...A GAME!!!!

    Peace!
    Half African, actually. But yeah, people get their knickers in a knot over things sometimes, it happens. I get what you mean though.
