....But when I saw that Redguards have an adrenaline bonus...I couldn't help but laugh. Way to enforce stereotypes.

Stamina bonus...as in they can sprint longer. It's stupid but I had to say it. I mean out of all the bonuses....

Yeah soon we can only choose to play as imperials and our enemies would be mudcrabs because somebuddy might hurt their feelings.

No I was just joking. I know they weren't being stereotypical. I just though it was ironic..mostly funny.

Any conclusions you may of drawn from that are in fact racist. The fact that Bethesda gave them that bonus isn't. There we go.

Huh no, it was you who created the stereotype, otherwise why would you have even thought it, never crossed my mind until I saw your thread.

No it isn't, he's acknowledging a well-known racial stereotype and connecting the dots. Doesn't make OP a racist.

OP has racist thoughts lol

Omg OP racist scum.

No, seriously, even if they had this in mind, why would it be racist? It's a good trait..right?

Recognizing a stereotype isn't racist. They are known to us all, even if we don't believe them. There are some I know only because other people have said them that I'd never have known otherwise.

Actually, Bethesda does mean to be racist in this game, and it's exactly the way it should be.

Guess calling him an outright racist is a bit much, but it certainly speaks to how he views the world. Personally the thought hadn't even crossed my mind until I read his post.
