By choice, not design. Just like most of the internet there is nothing here that
forces people to act in these volatile ways. Slandering the entire community for the sole purpose of justifying the use of an acronym you
know is offensive to people seems rather unnecessary, don't you think?

I'm sure. I think it's great that you celebrate diversity and have the most black people in your group. However, I'd say that it's only proper for people that are open-minded to be tolerant and considerate as well.
It isn't really slander when you can look at the evidence yourself. The community as a whole is rather racist, and the people that speak out against the racism are quickly mocked, discredited, and then quieted (Hi Claeyt!!) which is why I have stayed away from the entire It's because he's Black topic. If you have ever spoken with any of us you would quickly realize that we are NOT down with racism and we are NOT okay with prejudice and we WILL redlist and kill you at the first given opportunity for such conduct. The fact that the group that will kill you for being racist has the acronym KKK is freaking hilarious and the only actual people that should be offended are ku klux klan members because we are against everything they stand for while having been -assigned by the community- their moniker.
As for being tolerant, we are that. That is the whole point. We are tolerant, people who are intolerant are asking us to change our names. We are definitely open-minded, and will remain such. Being considerate of people's feelings really has nothing to do with our tolerance and open-mindedness. We are asking you, the community, to not make retarded generalizations and to maybe get to know a set of people before you judge them.
For me, this whole situation is awesomely funny and I hope more people complain about it. The more you say we are racist or intolerant the funnier it is because that just means you are the one making sweeping generalizations
