As always a very heartfelt and sincere responce from you.
You may not be familiar with the story thus far so I will try to explain.
This server operates a zero tolerance to racism, we have many races that play here, and from many different countries. The server is one place where we can all be equal and friends.
The first time the word "chinky" came up all the admin had to look long and hard at its implications, some members did take offence and thought the remark was derogitory if not racist.
As admin we concluded that the word was in the english vocabulary to describe a type of food outlet and whilst no racist remark was intentional we also concluded that under the racism definition the term is racist.
Now, we all agreed that we are not here to educate, we are here to enforce all the rules regardless.
What we did do is to allow ignorance where no racist intent was observed, which is why for a limited time only we agreed to a one week ban for a first offence.
This time limit will be over soon and any racist comment, intended or not will be met with a perm ban from this server.
Your personal views, and that of any admin are private and your own, but whilst on the server everyone is equal, and no inclusions or exemptions are allowed.
I must however thank you for being so polite and respectfull of the rules, and your apology is accepted.
Your ban will be lifted after the term, and I seriously doubt you will be banned again for this reason.
