Ed, WTF?

Japanass is a slur on a nationality, not a race. To be a racial slur it would have to be Assian.

Assperanto is a slur on a recently invented language. Slurring Esperanto is like slurring Klingon.

Ah OK. Nevermind. I just saw this and realized that it probably applies here.

OK, after some discussion, I was clearly construing “hate speech” more broadly than we normally mean it in the Pit. While a racist diatribe would likely a earn a warning at minimum, we don’t have a problem with (say) disparaging remarks about the French. Accordingly I withdraw my mod note to Rand Rover on this point and extend my apologies.
