    Oh I am so sorry! I wasn't trying to bait! English is neither my first nor second language, but actually my fourth so I am not always the best at phrasing my intent. Sincere apologies I did not mean for my comment to come across that way.
    Please let me try to rephrase. Some of the specific rhetoric used to defend the sundering is rhetoric that is racially loaded due to real life history. I did not mean to say the playerbase was racist, but that rather some of the rhetoric used does have some uncomfortable racial undertones to me.

    I do not think people are being intentionally malicious for saying things like this, which is why I made that post, because I thought the playerbase wasn't intentionally racist and thus some people might've wanted to know the history and connotations of some of the rhetoric used here.

    People are not racist for liking Venat, for disliking the ancients, for using these arguments, or any such things. I was merely trying to convey that some of this rhetoric has an unfortunate connotation and history.

    Again I am so very sorry, I was not intending to call you racist, I just chose words poorly because of my inability to properly phrase myself, that is entirely my mistake and I will try to phrase myself better from now on.

    Also it is my first post because I have been scared of posting for a long time due to my poor ability to phrase my intent, I was afraid people would read malice into anything I would try to write so I have just been lurking and thinking about these things to myself for a while. It seems I was correct about my language skills being bad enough to hurt people...
