What is wrong with this community?

I had such a nice experience today with my FC. I decided finally, that I would join the teamspeak they had going on. Now, at first it was nice. Then a FC member logged in and started a conversation, but he ended up saying he wanted to ask a player to join him in a run but because he was African american he didn't want to ask him because, apparently, African american people are all ignorant. He also said he doesn't want to have a conversation or even talk with anyone who "had more than 3% black in them."

Now from this point on I was a bit on edge about my FC, but I stayed for awhile longer thinking maybe he was joking. But then another member ended up saying the word "nigger". Something annoyed him and he called it a "nigger."This is when I got suspicious and uncomfortable because I myself, am African american. So, like any normal person, I said my goodbyes and left the FC.

Anywho, I'm not angry at the situation or anyone personally, I just feel like this a sad truth in the community.

It is for this reason I will not join a free company that requires any type of voice communications. A lot of FC's say it is for end game, but when I was in FFXI my end game guild had no communication besides linkshell chat and we did just fine. I also do not want some teen (or an old man acting as such) screaming obscenities into his mic because he thinks someone should be playing their job a different way than they play it.

What the hell? I knew the community was bad in some parts, but racism, really? ._.

Agreed.

Until WoW I never really saw any bigots in MMOs but now they are everywhere. My FC had to kick someone out the other day for a racist joke. I am not of any race that is likely to get attacked but I still can't stand when others are... it is mostly because I know that anyone saying those things is a total idiot and a waste of perfectly good oxygen.

Well I found something I agree with you on. Maybe we can get along lol.
