Race War?

[the Jester]

Umm, I am sure it's just an innocent linguistic confusion, but there's a banner ad for a game called "Race War"- which (at least in the U.S.) is usually a white supremicist term.

Just thought you might wanna know- it's possible that the ad might attract some unwanted company.

I think in the U.S., it's not "usually" a term at all. The first thing I think of when I hear it, especially in the context of here, is dwarves vs. elves or something.

I feel like I've seen it used in "supremacist"/racist context too...

Maybe not where you live, but here, it's absolutely a term used by white supremacists to refer to the "inevitable" war between whites and [insert minority here, usually African American].

Heck, starting a race war was one of Charles Manson's stated goals.

Funny story - I hadn't seen that ad until I clicked on this thread, and there it was at the top of the screen.

My guess is it's probably another Google ad.
