Asiatopia Prime has made his national animal to be the white man! that should not be tolerated! We do need racism in our region. I request that Asiatopia Prime be ejected from the 10000 Islands as soon as possible! I ask you all to look at the Constitution of the 10000 Islands, "5.2.1. Posting of any content considering spamming, including content that is obscene, illegal, threatening, malicious, defamatory, or otherwise understood to be spam. This applies to a nation's name, motto, and other customizable fields, any messages written, images posted, or any other content uploaded or linked to NationStates" I Look forward to seeing you comments.
I am just wondering what would happen if it had been the other way around.

I was wondering what would happen if someone else had done the same thing but with a different race? Would peolpe be as leniant? I don't want to go into too much detail as I am not racist and I don't want to seem racist. I do not however like it when other people are racist. I will be happy if Asiatopia Prime removes this and is warned not to do it again. I also think Asiatopia prime should also apoligize for his actions.

From the message board by Asiatopia Prime.
"I just want to let you all know, I am sorry for my national animal, I have played this game for awhile, and I haven't always been a part of this region as most of you probably know. Me and my friends made another region long ago, and it was there that my nation started, and I felt comfortable putting funny remarks on my national settings, since I was in a community of friends. However, since my region has been deserted due to lack of interest, I was forced to move to a new region, so I chose here. Being so long into the game, I have never really paid attention to my settings, therefore I never bothered changing them, since really all I do is check the issues and make a decision on them. My national animal was not meant to be racist in any way, so please accept my apology, it was just a running joke that has long lost its value in this new region. So, if you have any further remarks to make at me, I'll be checking my telegrams for the rest of the day. Have a good day!
that was in the past, right now racism cannot be tolerated, all racist remarks must be removed. they will make us weak. it doesnt matter what race is remarked about it is still racism and will not be tolerated.

"Racism can't be tolerated." This is almost a paradox. It is equivalent to saying "intolerence can't be tolerated." We must respond to racism with anger, certainly, but nations should not be expelled because of their ideas. Nationstates was created to simulate real government, and we should hold the same values here as we do in real life. Freedom of Speech is paramount in our society, and we would do it a great service to uphold it in our region. Perhaps I'm being melodramatic, but I still don't think we should expel a nation because of its ideas.
The thing is, usually people make nations like that just to make people mad. They have no intention of playing this game like the rest of us. They just like making commotion. If they really want to return they will usually make an appeal to the Council of Nine saying they will change it, etc.

Racism shouldn't be tolerated or condoned anywhere. This is a game, not a KKK rally. If they want to express their opinions, they can go to some protests, but they shouldn't ruin this for the rest of us.
