This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Am I a racist for denouncing the Radiant Citadel as such?

So, about a month or so ago I was removed from D&D's page on facebook, without warning. The reason for this was that, apparently, I have been saying racist things - mind, I have not done so nor was it ever told to me in such words, I can only guess.

What I have said is that however the intention of the Radiant Citadel is a good one, as I applaud more diversity instead of killing the nth troll using a club, going to your boss (in this case Crawford) and saying that you want a book specifically written by black or brown people, thereby excluding all kinds of other colours, is racist, however which way you throw it.

Some people said that can't be, as racism apparently is about power and privilege and white people have the power (I'll try to remember that as I'm driving to yet another day of dull, dull, dull work), therefore, one cannot be racist against white people, even going so far as to call me racist.

So, who is the racist, Ajit George (creator of the product) or myself?

That's the beauty of redefining terms. You are a racist. According to their definition.
You literally can't talk to these activist types, as they may as well be speaking a different language.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

I must clarify: stupid loyalty and the unavailability of anything else - same as miniatures... Nowadays Bones (reapermini) has got as good sculpts as Wizkids but my LFGS won't stock these. Same as with, for example, FAGE as opposed to 5e. Even Pathfinder is hard to come by.

Then order the things you really want online. I'm all for supporting gaming stores, but if they're only stocking the products of racists, well, once more you're probably showing too much loyalty.

Unfortunately shipping and customs are about half what I pay. E.g. I bought one of GR's books (one of the AGE ones, I don't know) and it was worth 30 or so dollars, paid around 80 in total.
