White GLO is totally offensive, especially to our non-white members.

Historically White is not any better, especially since most NPCs have been "integrated" longer then they have not been.

Predominantly White still implies that we consider white people before other races.

If someone asks you not to use a spesific term because it's offensive to them, the normal human thing to do is to stop using the term.


PS...to use your own argument, you're not white, so you can't tell us what we can and can't be offended by.
are you slow? i said predominantly white, twit. if you're not intelligent enough to hang in this conversation...click on the red x. if you're going off of implication and not the actual definition of the word predominant, then you're more of an idiot than previously thought.

if you get offended at the word predominant, it reinforces my opinion of your minute intellect, and i'll continue to use it because eventually you'll start cursing and screaming at the computer and drooling at the mouth.

and i don't particularly care whether or not white people or anyone else get offended at the word "predominant." go on ahead, and continue to get offended. no sweat off of my back. it's not a racial slur or anything of the like.

the term predominantly white GLO isn't meant to offend. it's stating a fact. the majority of your membership is caucasian. thus, it's predominantly white.
