Your journey into retro games?

What did I do that's so wrong?

You throw around Aryan Race like it's nothing. We can discuss games without using Nazi terminology.

^used a race term in sentences comparing game consoles as better than one another, for starters. couple that with the fact that, more often than not, the only time most of us hear the term "Aryan race" is when some nazi stooge is proclaiming its superiority.

Maybe that's not what you meant...but it's a loaded term that thus bears some contextual explanation.

Aryan isn't Nazi terminology. Even if you consider it to be i'm using the textbook definition. But I will edit my comment. Sorry If I offend anyone.

Aryan race isn't. Using it in the way you were is definitely Nazi ideology.

Any chance you could stop trying to defend your bullshit when you get caught out on it? A simple sorry would work better.

A simple sorry "I'm outta here" would work better.

FTFY

If it's an opinion that any race has some kind of innate racial superiority over others, then yes.

I fail to see how comparing x to y and saying in being compared to the "Aryan race" aka superiority is text book as far as race goes. Either way, the prominent use of Aryan did not come into play/common use (later 19th I believe?) until it was brought into the notion that it was a master race which was later obviously adopted for Nazi ideology. So...learn your history and your definitions and in short, don't use it.

Believe me sir, I am NO racist. I myself am a minority (Indian). I guess I'll clean up my act around here. I'm sincerely sorry to anyone I have offended.

It's cool, and I wouldn't have insinuated you'd be better off leaving is your posts weren't worded in such a way as to suggest you hold values that are antithetical to those this community has usually stood for. Since it seems, now, that you don't hold those values, an apology is a good first step in repairing your reputation.
