[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8346515, member: 82106"] There was a group that I gamed with a few times that was EXTREMELY misogynistic. I don't recall racism per-se, but there were several 'toxic' individuals there who really were over the top. Their GM (the brother of one of the ring leader) was actually a really good guy, though. My best friend loved gaming with him and eventually he ended up marrying a woman that was part of our group, though not one of my regular players. The rest of that crowd never did change their tune. AFAIK they're still up to the same tricks as before, though I have not heard anything of them in years. That was Vermont, which is VERY VERY white, so it may well be they were racist as well, but it never seemed to come up explicitly in my limited contact with them. I will say, other than that, even when I was gaming in an area where there was a lot of racial tensions, I didn't run into gamers who were particularly overtly prejudiced. But that's just the thing, it isn't really the overt in your face sort of stuff that is the main issue, is it? [/QUOTE]
