    I feel like being called an "Astro Noob" has nothing to do with race or ethnicity.

    Everyone who is arguing that it's racism: you're taking things we too far and way too seriously lol.

    Being a regular @ Astro's is more like an attitude than being part of an inclusive group.

    Every time I am on Astro patrol, I cannot believe the amount of swears, slurs and insults being spewed out by a relatively small "population" of the entire game.

    It's amazing.

    'Astro noob' isn't a race. So no, it's not racism.
    If you're offended by something like that, just block the person making that statement towards you.

    It's not really racism..Racism is basically calling someone based on how they look (or possibly on how they act),so maybe not racism otherwise,it's possible that it relates to "Name Calling" though.

    Maybe the "Astro Noob" saying is true but it doesn't relate to anything that's racist like Race or Sex.

That's life. You can block them if you truly are irritated, but saying that someone is being "racist" because they call people "astro noob"... no.

    Plus, just be a suuuuuuuper sarcasticly nice back to them. It's quite hilarious.
    So. You want to make fun of these players.
    Nice. Well done.
    How thoughtful of you

    If this is the case then I would like to demand equality for all social groups on Era.

    But how many players will you block just because someone offends you?
    Dozens? Hundreds?
    Era is a social platform
    If we encourage Blocking as a solution to every offensive language,then why consider era a social platform. U might as well get rid of public chat!

    You have taken this thread way too seriously. Getting called an Astro noob is just like getting called a noob. It's mainly specified to people who have customs and date people who hang out in Astro.
    Not giving up. mistakes happen, Miracles shine upon us.

    but why does this term exist if it refers to people as defined by you. What has those people done to deserve such a bad reputation.

    Thanks, I appreciate the recognition you are giving me for all my hard work. It encourages me to continue to love my fellow man and not want to reach through the cold, vastness that is the internet and slap the hell out of people who twist other peoples words in order to make them seem like they're discriminating against other people, regardless of their play style, gender, beliefs, or race, and that they aren't just concerned about the mental and emotional maturity of others enough to offer practical solutions to the problems that have been stated.

    Wait...
