T-God,

There isn't that much racism in BBV. People are just using racial slurs as substitutes for "moron"/"loser"/whatever random insult, if that makes any sense. It's just funnier is all.
edit: that wasn't very clear, but I mean that 90% of the time, no harm is intended to the group mentioned. It's just a way of joking around, and unless there are PMs to mods saying otherwise, I don't think many people get offended.

even with your edit, possibly the worst explanation of it ever.

T-God: Ha.. what a <explitive deleted>
racial minority: What?!
T-God: oh, didn't see you there. Don't worry 'bro. I just mean "stupid" or "retarded". We down.
racial minority: *stabs T-God*

What you said is hardly correct, anyway. Racial humor is all about stereotyping, not just attributing a "random insult" to a racial group. If someone's cheap, a jew remark is made; if someone's been robbed, someone jokes a black guy did it; and so on and so forth.

By the way, I'm not PC, and I think this rule is lame. I think racial jokes are often pretty funny and it's easy to spot who's joking and who's not. Then again, it's a big messageboard, so who knows who gets offended and who doesn't. I just think if they're going to enforce it, then stuff like gay jokes and objectifying women and calling the white man the devil should all be prohibited, too. And then this would be a really fun, safe place to hang out and get along! Yayyyyyy TEAM!

Just because they're a minority means they will stab me? I'm offended, sir.

The situation you described is different than what we're doing here though. I think it's kinda dumb to say that we talk to people online in the same way that we talk to them in person. Everyone in this forum knows that the line of what you can say to people in BBV is far, far away from what you can say to them in real life before they get upset or offended. So no, I don't use many racial slurs IRL, at least not in public, but I do on here because of the atmosphere.

Any you're right that there is the stereotyping going on too, but that [censored] is so cliche by this point that I'd be really surprised if anyone is offended by it.
