As a part of the minority I am also affected by some racial slurs or some derogatory words that insult members here living in a third world/developing country. We are in the center of insult as we Filipinos are often connected to being spammers and shit posters. But we cannot do anything about it as it is not prohibited for other members to say bad things about another group of people. The best thing we can do is to prove them wrong by improving our grammar and post quality, it may take some time to get the respect we want but it is the only way.
Mate, Thanks for the support and the kind suggestion to improve ourselves to stay equal against the high profile people roaming around the forum.

I'm not sure what the point of this thread is. Someone offended you, so what would you like to be done about it? Its not against forum rules, so it wont be deleted. People are welcome to use obscenities or commonly considered offensive language as long as their post isn't spam.
I guess what I'm asking is what you hope to accomplish here. If everyone said, yes, he should apologize, it would still be up to him whether he did it or not, so making a public thread is less productive than just asking the person privately.
I'm hugely offended by the word lemon, but I have a hard time getting people to stop saying it.
I thought of asking it personally, but had the thinking that he'll once again talk in the same manner. So, only tried to go in public. Anyhow from users understood its quite common and behalf of that I'll lock it. I guess what I'm asking is what you hope to accomplish here.

Being a reputed campaign manager doesn't mean that he can talk anything as well can describe users with words that suits him. He could have contacted the respective person or the different persons personally and should have made further actions. Without that just terming the entire user community of a particular country as beggars or scumbags is intolerable. He need to take back his words, this is pure racism which is shown in a different way.
And what you are offering? Give him red trust rating for racism or what? It's internet, you don't have to react so sensible when you see such things. I'm not sure why called these people as Indian beggars and scumbags if he aren't sure that these people are really from India. It would be enough to say just beggars and scumbags without mentioning specific country. Still, I think that you overreacted, calm down
