Sheesh.

In the beginning of EVE all minnies where of african race.

CCP did lessen that massive racism in EVE a bit - but I - only me - would give all four factions the same racial background.

It would be easy to introduce that into the lore.

If some of oyu guys think this is not important - wake up.

We live in a rl racist world - I do not approve of that.

I am not very lucky with all the racist **** I read in local.

What I'm getting at here is you'll never be able to completely remove racism from a game while it exists in the minds of literally everyone on earth. Also you may not have noticed but EVE's lore is basically a guide to being a racist.

Just a couple of thoughts for you:

1. You're talking about GAME lore, right? It's just a game, let it go...

2. But lets just say, that CCP would have made all the characters one color, one race.
They would still be scamming, spying, and killing each other on a daily basis. Would that somehow be 'better'?

Humans are aggressive by nature. Were labeled as "The most dangerous predator on earth" for a reason. It's been that way for millions of years.
As long as there are different races, religions, cultures, there will always be racism. I don't condone it, approve of it, or practice it, but it is undeniably real, and here to stay.

Having Race wars in a PvP game seems perfectly reasonable to me. GAME being the key word here.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.
