Let me start off first with the following:



This is a racism-ridden post by yours truly, the moderator of both coh2.org and companyofheroes.com, James Hale. You're kidding me right?

Just for your information, a large portion of the Company of Heroes 2 community speak Arabic. They get the jist of the message, whether you hinted to it explicitly or implicitly.

I don't understand how this post is constructive in any way at all. It doesn't abide by any of the rules in this forum. In fact, it's really ironic to see that this is the prime example of a post magnitudes worse than the posts you'd usually lock in the forum. One would think a post like this wouldn't exist in a respectable community like this. But then, you have people like James Hale who produce these kind of posts but lock posts completely in-topic with Company of Heroes because it may offer some few remarks he personally doesn't fully agree with.

The post which by all means deserves to be locked by a moderator, gets written by one. MVgame?

Were you trying to accomplish anything funny in this post anyways? The video had me cringing. You just kept mumbling stereotypical gibberish in a stereotypical accent the whole time. It was straight-up racism. I don't feel the need to reiterate what you've already seen in the video. I'd consider Family Guy episodes multitudes more respectful than this.




Why are you trying to diffuse the blatantly obvious issue here when you know yourself that your post was racist? Yeah, you didn't just offend Arabs, you offended several religions simultaneously.

"But wait... how could you take this as 'racist'? But I found it funny! Surely I'm aware of what is offensive to people and what's not"

• You used a Nasheed as the intro song
  Really? Out of ALL the Arabic music you could've picked from, you chose a religious genre? And you're telling me this is just "childish satire"?
  
  
• You show several clips of rockets and weapons while playing the Nasheed
  Talk about making a racist situation even worse right?
  
  
• You show the star of David
  Was that even necessary? Like you couldn't make a satirical video without religion or other concepts people consider sensitive and hold dear to them?
  

If this was childish satire, you wouldn't indirectly make fun of several cultures and religions in the same context.

Someone please ban this child. At the very least revoke his moderator status. I'm forwarding it to Ami and enforcement@relic.com in case they hasn't seen this.
