Nords Keeping The Redguard Down

Post » Thu Jun 07, 2012 10:58 pm

I am so sick of walkin' around on my aching feet listening to these Nord's -- specifically Stormcloaks and Forsworn -- talk about the "OLD WAYS." EXCUSE ME? Let's go back to the "OLD WAYS?" Who do YOU PEOPLE think you are? Keep anyone with dark, or scaly skin outside of certain holds type of OLD WAYS -- is THAT what you are talkin' about? What's next? Us Redguards gon' have to go sit at the BACK of the wagon on our way to the next town? Might as well just have us all out in the fields pickin' TUNDRA COTTON under the heel of that no good UNCLE TOM NAZEEM! But hell! He MUST BE doin' somethin' right; that brotha the only one makin' any money around here!

EDIT: JARL BALGRUUF DOESN'T CARE ABOUT RED PEOPLE.

EDIT: BLACKREACH? YEAH. "BLACK-REACH" is a good name for the redguard racial ability IN BED, FOO'S!

I like it when Nords say that they are going to "kill the next imperial that they see" and i am an Imperial standing in front of them.

Nords wanting to go back to the old ways has more to do with Skyrim before the White Gold Concordant (or whatever they call that agreement) than any other races living in the land. They want to go back to the time when the Thalmor were not telling them what to do and who to worship.

This. They just want Talos back and no elves.

Yet another design pet peeve that roots all across our media; video games especially.

I've never played Redguard (the game), but I'd still try it. I've played games as all sorts of protagonists.

When are we going to progress and see more than male straight religious scruffy white guys?

I encourage you then to not join the NATION of Talos as you are not RED, but instead to pursue traditional Talos worship instead.

I realize the thread is a joke but yeah the Redguards, to my knowledge, have never really been a target of racism. Nords and Elves don't get along great (Dark Elves hating the Nords back), Khajiit and Argonians have been victims of racism at the hands of the Dark Elves and the Altmer simply think themselves better than all others, though they don't blatantly show MORE hate towards any one race.
If anything, the Redguards and Nords would get along wonderfully, since both are disappointed in the Imperial Legion for surrendering when it did.

Redguards are allowed in Whiterun. Whiterun is full of redguards in fact. There's that annoying Nazeem, the pvssywhipped dude who sends you to get his sword (and his wife), the chick in the inn, etc.

Agreed. There's some anti-elven prejudice as a result of this otherwise legitimate desire, but I think it's largely tangential, and derived from the fact that your average elf-in-the-street is unfortunately suffering from guilt-by-association with the elven Thalmor.

But yeah, the basic issue is that "the old days" doesn't mean "a time before all the filthy foreigners showed up" it means "a time before the Thalmor were running the show and dictating who we can worship".

Black Americans, no, they aren't - but my eyes tell me they're pretty clearly black.
