Racial/Ethnic
This refers to clear and implied language which:

Is recognised as a racial or ethnic slur.
Promotes racial or ethnic hatred.
Refers to symbols of racial or ethnic hatred.


a new clan in gwyddion has been named : Superior Race

when i google "the superior race" ; the first hit is a wiki that reads:
"Superior race" and "inferior race" redirect here.

The master race (German: die Herrenrasse, About this sound das Herrenvolk (help·info)) is a concept in Nazi ideology in which the Nordic race—a branch of what in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century taxonomy was called the Aryan race—represented an ideal and pure white race. In Nazi ideology the Nordic race was the purest example of the original racial stock


i find this highly offensive

please have the clan change his name

It could just be some 11 year old with no idea what that means who thunks the name sounds cool because quite frankly superior race could refer to a lot of things.

I think you over reacted.... did you ask them what the clan name stands for? Unless they openly admitted as to what they intended the name to stand for, you have no proof to accuse them of making such a reference.....

True, but I still understand why he is angry, it is pretty offensive to some people...

I've seen worse clan names, and even worse user names.

If you're offended just ignore them.

The "superior race" was hitlers utopia but he also got the idea from other places, it's only well more documented within history hence your google research findings.

Some of the Romans also had a belief about superior race, true bloods, pure bloods was there way etc etc
I would say its more about selection than racism, hitlers idea was fascist and racist as well as evil but that isn't what i believe this clans name intention was.
They just want to believe the toons within it are superiour imo
