I'd like to clear up some misinformation in your post. Regarding the Summoner's Code, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but the code is basically just an exploration of the concept of "don't be a dick," so I'm not sure what your objection to it is. 2. His account was permanently...

Actually, your antagonist 'Kogarian' makes an interesting point. Racism has indeed existed for a long, long time. In fact, all the white folks with different accents and languages in Europe used to kill each other for much the same reason people of different ethnicities are at each others'...

Actually, let me make one more brief point - A lot of people in this thread who are arguing with me seem to have a misunderstanding of what racism is (largely as a result of the touchy-feely 'colorblind' mainstream thought on issues of race). The kind of racism I'm talking about is systemic...

No one's trying to claim that people of color get a free pass for racially motivated violence, but honestly let's consider their situation.

^ high five You obviously didn't get Wise's point, then. Racism against whites is tolerated because it doesn't mean anything. There aren't centuries of oppression to back it up, because whites have had the upper hand for a long, long time. White privilege would let us laugh along with a...

Please. I'm saying the legitimacy of the argument has been refuted time and again. 'Reverse racism' is about the weakest play in the 'legitimizing my deeply held racist beliefs' playbook. http://www.raceandhistory.com/selfnews/viewnews.cgi?newsid1024893033,80611,.shtml...

I'm really troubled by the comments around the interwebs about this story. The complaint itself is kind of silly - it *is* just an iPhone toy and probably shouldn't be taken so seriously. But the responses from all the entitled little fucks who turn around and say "NO ONE WOULD CARE OF THEY...
