It's not that I'm for racism, but seriously, how can we restrict "racist" remarks? Most any racist remark from around here is meant either as a joke or a cheap slam. Most of us have no idea about the ethnicity of each other. For example, what color am I? There are probably less than a handful of people around here who know I'm white, with German descent. Someone could call me a kike, but so what? I'm not Jewish, and don't plan to be anytime soon.
If you guys want to restrict racist marks, then we'll also need to restrict each and every form of name calling. Name calling is meant to belittle others in almost every situation, except around here. I call someone a retard (which, according to your standards, should never be used) out of playing games and messing with them.
You guys HAVE to stop taking this place so fucking seriously. It's a game! So anyway, I'm not in favor of doing away with racist remarks. It serves absolutely no purpose. It would create a double standard. And would destroy the main purpose of GFY.
And before anyone accuses me of being racist, my roommate is black, as well as two of my best friends. And no, my German descent doesn't mean I'm coming after you Jews. But I'm definitely coming after the Jehovah's Witnesses!
