Mongoose apologized for the remarks and said that what was written is just the opinion of one person. To continue berating them for something that has already been sufficiently addressed really accomplishes nothing. I am of a strong German heritage, and I don't necessarily agree with everything said about Germans in the book, but I don't see much of a point bringing up this slight over and over again. I do find it interesting that on the Mongoose boards, it is the Germans who have been overly outraged and aggresive about defending their country and its people, even though, as pointed out here, many nations received equally grave insults within the text of the book. In many ways their behavior online ratifies the very stereotype from the book that they are trying to overcome.At any rate, its a non-issue. Its not much worse than the writeups we see about various nations or races in most roleplaying books, and the only reason that this is causing such a stir is because it is discussing things that exist in the real world. Imagine what the orcs would have to say if they actually existed and were given the chance to respond to the way they are portrayed in RPG books.</blockquote>
