Tbh you should stop conflating the arbitrary, indirected use of racial slurs with *racism*. They are obviously intending it for the purpose of shock and humour; for one, racial issues are irrelevant in a game where everyone is anonymous. If you take issue with someone indirectly being a dick then you are being stupid. It's not like they rooted out one of their players and found they were black, and have then started heckling them.
This isn't racism. This is about as racist as banning tauren's from your group because they're fucking cows. It's arbirtary, inane and irrelevant.
And yes, I would rather play with racists too, if the rest of my options were the neo-liberal nazism that you spout. Step back and calm down.
I'll just leave this here.
