[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 8471478, member: 50895"] I published a Japanese Horror setting, based on feudal Japan, though it wasn't really Japan - rather the Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG), but I designed to be like real Japan, in that feudal Japan was a police state, a social caste system was in place (and is less mutable in the setting, than in reality), movement from province to province was heavily controlled, very few people have actual money, and everybody is taxed 60% or higher. Though in reality, Japan was a male dominated society, Kaidan didn't emphasize that so much, though there are a lot of ghosts of abused women. Still the setting does utilize the fact that outsiders are considered comparable to the lowest social caste - Kaidan isn't a very welcoming society. I designed it, and I ran games using it, I never actually played in it. I don't think I've ever played a game where somebody's character was actively trying to be racist, and that's in 44 years of gaming. I'm not saying that someone's actions could or couldn't be viewed as prejudicial, but openly racist - I've never witnessed that. [/QUOTE]
