If it was a white character no one would call it racist and it would still be funny. This has nothing to do with racism it's just funny. All it's doing is mocking a stereotype, which isn't racist, it's stereotypical.

Taken from the Oxford Dictionary

racism(rac·ism)
Pronunciation:/ˈrāˌsizəm, /
noun
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race

stereotype(ster·e·o·type)
Pronunciation:/ˈsterēəˌtīp, ˈsti(ə)r-, /
noun
a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing

So it is a racist stereotype
A black character named "Black Phro" wanting crack, asking for guns and referencing prison life...
I can see how you would dismiss this as not being racist...
/fail
thats directed at that character, this thread, and your post

As an added note, the reference is not directed to a stereotype in-game, so it not just flavorful RP.

I am finding this very amusing. Some people just have no sense of humor. Don't even try to argue with me, saying that you have a sense of humor because you don't. You just don't...

"Peppino muttered in an angry aside to the thread..."

Not offensive. Just plain not amusing.
I even smile at Carlos Mencia sometimes. This is less funny than that.

I'm probably missing something as I don't find a black stereotype funny. Apologies but I don't find mild racism funny. I kind of agree this could do with locking, not really appropriate.

Anchoret on the other hand deserves a thread of his own, he is pure awesome :D
