Western Sahara Racism Fix? Where'd it go?

Someone made a mod to change the names of the new outfits from "rags" to local outfit or similar. Included a quote from a dev or something who said any perceived racism for calling normal clothes rags for a specific people was on us and they just wanted a unique name for the outfits... did they lack a thesaurus there are many others and sand doesn't transform things to rags. But now that seems to be taken down... Is it the worst most blatant racism? No but it absolutely is racism even if carried out by unknowing actors raised in a racist culture or lacking the ability/will to defy racist practices. Don't let ego defensiveness, oversimplification, and anti-intellectualism make you complicit in generations long dehumanisation.

Larkins U are genuinely reprehensible just so you know with your weird ass Indian racism by lovecraft quote but I appreciate the accolades all the same bots and boots. You only justify opposition becoming more extreme.

Quit crying. What the devs were doing wasn't racist. You just love to hop on the racism band wagon whenever you get offended by whatever you chose to be offended by.

I'm not a racist troll. I just call out people who have a victim mentality and OP clearly has one big victim mentality.

Calling rags racist. How stupid can you possibly be? It's just clothing, get over it. There are much worse things to be triggered by, to be upset by.

Takes a lotta effort and care to setup a hall of fame, be sure to thank the diligent organisers for their work.

Not sure about the specific issue in question but, I wouldn't be surprised anyway based on some things I've observed (not the thing about the church).

I wonder why the largest church structure on Altis can't be destroyed but the large mosque could in Takistan?

Anyway, the Global North gaming landscape is what it is. Many Europeans are Islamophobic just like Americans.
