So if I put America is the best country, then for other planet name I put say England sucks. Would that be racist to others who are from there. After all I am expressing my pride for my country, does that mean I am racist to all other countries?No. But I think he should at least change the planets names.

You got it way off man. There is one this being patriotic and other experessing you opinion of another county. It is another to say that all Americans are stupid or that all english are pompus. (these are not my Views btw) cos that is racist and predigious, White pride is a Neo Nationalist Group that have certain views on people of an ethnic backgrounds. There views are there views. I have no qurrals on whether they actually have a right to say them or not. Free speech and all but this is a game and this is not the place to have name like that.
an example would be like me having my name as Black Panther or KKK.
Edit* Oh and i am English and i would have a problem with anyone saying my county sucks.

I would not Pm the guy to change it he will obviously say no. If admin say that the name and the planet name are fine then fine. If not they they can pm him and ask him to change the name.
I would just like to ask that i am not the only one who have expressed views on this name. I dont care about what he believes in or his name. I just dont think that it should be involved in this game.

How would you know he would say no, if you ask me I would say I will think about it and then change it. But if you ask me and threaten to mass me or whatever I would say hell no. But you should have asked him nicely(if you have not) to change it. I am sure he would have changed it.

Mate i cant see where your problem is with this. I am not going to ask this guy to change his name. not my place and i hold no authority. He should not be having planet names like this and his game name is questionable. My posting this is giving someone else a chance to make an opinion.
Adding my own view on this. I hate neo nazi groups as far as i am concerned they are racist and hold views that are wholly wrong. Thus i and others who have actually showed me this persons name have a problem with it. THIS IS A GAME, not a place where you can spread your views that are in every sence of the word controversial.

Then I can call you racist then because you hate those kinds of people. Well he hates blacks,Browns etc. so there he is racist just like you since you hate those kinds of people like him. And are you saaying I cant express my views about America being the best country in the world cos it is a game.

WTH is your problem. How im i being racist.... If i hate neo nazis then i am predagious to people of are racist to other poople. Tell me something. What race is he in.... I mean what race am i being racistist against for having problems with people with clearly racists views. You are clearly stupid to think that i am being racist. Yes i am English but i have spent some time in America and as far as i am concerned they are a lovely bunch of people.
To say that America is the best is fine. To say that America sucks is also ok. It is a view. A view on an entity that is america. To say that american people or black or white americans are stupid/ugly/even racists is in itself racist. Becuase you are branding an entire country of people as racist. That is wrong. The views that this person has is as far as i am concerned racist. I hold no racist views of any one individual or country. Cos that is what it is to be racists. To hate racists is not being racists itself.
