ive lived in a very indigenous community, and almost all of them thought that saying "im black" or "youre black" was extremely racist
if someone says "im white" then i find that racist, as they are actually Caucasian (to be politically correct)
if any of the members of that alliance are of darker skin colour, they should find a way to better express that
there are plenty of other things they could call themselves WITHOUT offending anyone

Whaaat? "Extremly racist"???
It's the "n" word which is racial slur.
"I'm black" isn't racist neither is "I'm white"..

[spoiler][/spoiler]What if the black one said "i'm black" on that TV show... would you be ringing to make a complaint?
You know what's funny, celebrating my 30th the other night I was having a jack daniels and coke.... with very little coke. The black barmen actually said to me "you're drinking like a black man". I laughed. Did I consider his comment racist? no.
How the hell can you call someone racist or offensive for saying "i'm black" when they are black for crying out loud. Get over yourself dude, there is nothing offensive about it. Stop wasting Admins time.

hey clarkey, did you know that they had to take the black power ranger off the show because of people calling up because his colour was racist???
just because YOU dont consider something to be racist, doesnt mean it isnt
how do you know whether he is "black" or not?
EDIT:
no offence everyone, but i think that it should be up to admins to decide to change it or not

Well then people are stupid because they are creating issues that don't need to be created. Bloody hell the colour of most black people isn't even black, it's brown. Why the hell would people complain about the black power ranger because his suit is black?
Baxter..... you have your race title as Australian..... YOU are pointing out the fact that YOU are Asutralian.... why is that any different to someone pointing out they are Black?
Oh sod this, this is n't the place to discuss it... i'm taking it to vendetta corner..... as soon as I sorted out this stupid house issue.

Re: Offensive Names (Users, Race, Titles, Motherships & Planets)
"Australian" is neither a race nor an ethny, it's a mix of Aborigenes, people of british descent back from conquest, and people from Asia, Indian and Pacific oceans.
So before acting all shocked about something which isn't (I'm black), make sure to get your facts straight, Baxter.

What part of this is offensive ?
Surely not the 'FU' part since everyone knows what 'FUALL' stands for and has been allowed.
Maybe Mohamed ? But then maybe thats his real name, there are a great many people called Mohamed in RL.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won.
There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.
Think of it--always Mahatma Gandhi
