there's someone on the server with the chat nick 'KFC_And_Watermelon'. i believe this to be inappropriate because its representative of a common online stereotype for african americans. in laymans terms, its kind of racist and offensive. this is a family friendly server and i didnt expect to see something like that, and i dont think it's child-friendly. the user said their IGN is 'dziqnr' three mods are online of my time of writing this and idk if they saw it and did something abt it but i figured it should be brought to someones attn.

Though it may imply, it isn't necessarily inappropriate to me. However, the mods may think otherwise. If it said "AfrianAmericansLike_KFC_And_Watermelon then I would agree, but just "KFC_and_Watermelon only suggests. Though I am used to R-rated servers, so I may be being lenient.

What if the person just likes KFC and watermelons? I'm sure many people of many different ethnic groups enjoy KFC as well as watermelons.

In reality it is innocent unless the person reading decides to take it the wrong way, as you have here. If this was truly a problem, then mods would know. But its all a matter of opinion in this instance: is it bad, or good? The fact that you thought it might be bad, is good because you are watching out for the server, just in case. But, it really is innocent, unless as SquareAngle stated above it was simply implied that they were stereotyping.

if you google search the term, the first page has offensive stuff on it. i just don't think its appropriate for a family friendly server. even if it is just "implied to be racist" it shouldnt even be that. thats my opinion and i understand there are differing ones on a sensitive topic like this, which is why i posted here. im sure im not the only one who thinks this shouldnt fly though
