It's odd to me that in a forum that's so super sensitive about issues of gender, the issue of racism doesn't concern the mods. I reported this thread, and no action has come, so I guess this sort of stuff is considered OK here?
I'm sure the posts were meant to be humorous, and the authors themselves aren't racist people, but stuff like that is definitely going to alienate anyone who's sensitive to racial issues... Do I need to make a 'How do we get more black people to play crawl' thread before people realize throwing around hyper racist terms probably isn't cool?
If that sort of stuff is allowed here, clearly this isn't a community I want to be associated with. I'm assuming the only reason the thread wasn't already closed is an oversight on the mod's part.
