Stop being so hostile in the game

That joke is no more or less racist/xenophobic than 3 French guys refusing to speak English with the OP. *shrug*

The three guys in the story were jerks, no doubt about it. That doesn't mean that someone making a xenophobic comment about an entire group of people (more than just 1 country, but several countries and parts of countries) is OK in the slightest. Honestly, I am surprised that hasn't been deleted.

I took the post as saying the OP was racist for mentioning they were French, which is probably how the others took it too, although he wasn't racist in any way.

Hmm, I read it as background as the language barrier was a key component of the story.

Because people treat it like a "loldrg" joke, albeit xenophobic (not racist).

You're right, xenophobic is the better term. As technically we are not all different races, using the term racist is always technically incorrect. However, thanks for the correction.
