You are completely clueless on this issue I'm afraid.
If you had played on Nost PvP towards the end you will be familiar with the player stats from the realm. This showed that the pop was at an unsustainable level of 13k and that about 30% of that were Chinese in origin.
The top 10 guilds included 3-4 Chinese guilds and the most played class was mage. Unfortunately, the mage class was purely to allow AOE farming for gold generation.
While I'm sure the Nost GM's will disagree, the PvP server was at the point of being unplayable. Part of the reason (apart from the economy) is that the Chinese community - even apart from the gold farming element - does not speak English.
Vanilla WoW is a community game and the language of the Nost/Crestfall server is English. In Nost we had a substantial part of the community that couldn't communicate with the other and chose not to do so.
It's not racist to say this. It is the facts of life.
Crestfall is essentially an EU/NA server and English is the lingua franca. The devs/mods have a particular issue with gold farming and the banning of VPN's (at present, still to be decided as a VPN whitelist is being discussed) is a natural decision to be made to protect the integrity of the economy.
The facility to allow a Chinese realm is viable option if the Chinese community show enough interest. A Discord channel is available for wider discussions. Even still, I would suspect the server to be inundated with DDoS attacks that originate from China because of this stance.
TL;DR Crestfall is not racist. Decisions are based on previous experiences that we have all had in retail and private servers. If you are Chinese a realm will be made available if you get off your collective arses and make an effort.
Are you giving an apologetic flock to justify racism , the Chinese are not the only ones in the world to make gold farm (I had several Chinese friends here in nostalrius who spoke better English than I), what happened was the same as saying that all Muslims are terrorists , that all blacks are thieves , all Brazilians are trolls .. It is acceptable to banish some for not obeying the rules of the server but not 1/5 of the world .. is a racist server and this must be made clear to those who resolve to play for her.
