At least the offensive name is taken by somebody who probably won't be coming back to the site.

Then how will the name be changed if he doesn't log on?

it wont, because it wont matter

I don't see the problem

There's Foundry map with a character (territory) in it called "Wog". Given that it's from the most prolific mapmaker here, I'd say it will get through anyhow.

Is "wog" an inflammatory term? Seriously...I'd not heard that one.

sigh... here you go:
Wog is in the UK usually regarded as an offensive slang word referring to people of color from Africa or Asia. The origin of the term is uncertain. Many dictionaries say "wog" possibly derives from the Golliwogg, a blackface minstrel doll character from a children's book published in 1895. An alternative is that "wog" originates from Pollywog, a maritime term for someone who has not crossed the equator. Attempts to derive "wog" from such phrases as "Worthy Oriental Gentleman", "Working On Government Service" (digging the Suez Canal) or "White Oriental Gentleman" are however considered backronyms.

The use of the word is discouraged in Britain, and most dictionaries refer to the word with the caution that it is derogatory and offensive slang.

The saying "The wogs begin at Calais" was originated by George Wigg, Labour MP for Dudley, in 1949. In a parliamentary debate concerning the Burmese, Wigg shouted at the Tory benches, "The Honourable Gentleman and his friends think they are all 'wogs'. Indeed, the Right Honourable Member for Woodford [i.e. Winston Churchill] thinks that the 'wogs' begin at Calais."[1] Wigg's coinage, sometimes paraphrased as "Wogs start at the Channel" or "Wogs start at Dover", is used to characterise a stodgy Europhobic viewpoint, and more generally the view that Britain (more so England) is inherently separate from (and superior to) the Continent. In this case, "wog" is used to compare any foreign, non-English person to those more traditionally labeled "wogs".

I agree and I am not even black...

It's just a username. If you don't like it, don't play with the person. There is always going to be someone who "offends" someone else - thats life. Get used to it.

I agree with this idea in most aspects like foul language to a degree I enjoy and tolerate and dislike people who can't but some words just should not be spoken...

It seems that the user has not returned to CC. If this user returns to CC, the issue will be looked into again, but for now this is being marked [Settled].

So what are your other "words" that should not be spoken? Just curious...........

also in the early 16 17 hundreds im not sure

the term "wog" stood for Worthy Oriental Gentlemen and was then used as an inflammatory term by the british for africans

Since this seems to have diverged greatly from the original topic it is now locked. Thanks for playing.
