I'm not sure exactly where it came from, but I've come to realize that it persists largely because the people who hear it and object to it do so only internally, rarely (if ever) speaking up and saying that such things won't fly. Reading the Qualities has made it even clearer to me that this is exactly what needs to change in order to claim the ever-so-interesting online game space from foul-mouthed, hateful louts. Such a shame my 360 got the red ring of death yesterday (the second time my 360 has died). Otherwise, I'd go home and fire up Halo 3 and just wait for someone to mouth off inappropriately...

I read it and howled - it kind of brought to light some of the fuzzy language I've been frustrated with in antiracist discourse. It specifically references the AllyWork list, as well: http://whiteantiracist.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/7/#comments. It's the comment down at the bottom. Hi Tekanji -
