No, someone made a joke where Jews were portrayed as people selling stuff cheap, and Vlad was upset.

By the way:
The aussie (or is that offensive?) comedian Steve Hughes once did a brilliant thing around how people seem obsessed with being offended these days. Unfortunately the video has been removed from Hughes website, so I guess someone was offended;-)

I'm agreeing with Derken, the stereotype isn't even right lol. The person is being accused for the word jewish people who sell stuff cheap... when that's absalute non sense. The stereotype with jewish people is that they are always rich, which suggests that they are supposedly stingy.

But it really shouldn't have been put that way anyway. I don't know shadow if it's 'Clearly racist' because the player must be under the influence in his possible urban area where most people are very reliant on the media and how they potray races/relgions.

Either way you shouldn't reffer to any religion in such negative manner.

This comment clearly ment no offenence intended what so ever!
I completly agree with derken the world is offended way to easy these days. He'll it mite ever be a figure of speech where puto is from. Now that doesnt mean its right to say what he did its not. But he needs to be given a chance, Someone to explain to puto that his comment was found to be offensive or racist, witch i beleave it was and he apologized for it as he did not entened it to come across in a offensive manner. I believe it should be forgiven and forgotten, if it was to happen again then thats another story but aleast one chance must be given for simple saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Anyone that plays mmo's know its a clash of cultures, backgrounds and up brings. Some things r going to be said you dont agree with or find offensive thats just the way it is and if u dont like it ur playing the wrong style if game.

Where im from in Canada, many kids my age say 'Jew' if someone is acting greedy/finding it hard to let up some money for someone else. Its just the wrong word to be used but is used a lot just like the word gay for example. People say like oh thats gay when they mean it sucks or its lame or whatever and they call people gay when really they mean hes an azz or something else. So yeah it's probably a normal thig around where he lives as it is where i am so i feel pretty bad hes like banned(dont know all the details) and I do believe he should have been warned about his language rather than just straight booted. Anyways just putting in my 2 cents cya.

with the lack of clear writing structure i'm assuming this person is young and may not understand a lot. There's many perspectives to using the word 'Jew', from Puto's point of view i don't believe he intended it as a direct insult to Judaism. It's as Vulture said, people say something is acutually something like a metaphor with the word gay. That's proberly the case here, so I think this is false report for racism because with the influence of the media you hear such language everywhere now. Not saying it should be allowed but when you hear someone say 'Stop being a Jew', that' a totally different meaning to what's been used here. It is referring to the actual religion but not in a hateful way, because racist comments can only be considered if there is actual negativity towards a certain race/religion.

But then again, shadow has every right to fire and not allow any kinds of comments that refer to ones background/religion. As a chieftain, you would want it so that the clan chat is a place to communicate and socialise. Not to see comments that can offend other users. So rather it being as a un intended insult, don't say it at all.
