So it's 2016, and I'm thinking of making a new petition

To remove the ethnic slur from the item. Since the last one hasn't been up in three years due to dreya and Tea both quitting (I'm assuming if that's happened).

I'm probably going to type it out tomorrow and use sources from dreya's as well as others I can get and provide an excerpt so people can read for themselves. (I'm nice okay).

I also have the okay to do it from a friend's guild mule (I'm a mod of it on another account) as she too is against the slur being used.

If anyone has any additional sources on the matter I would appreciate it. Specifically I'm trying to find one on a law in the Northeast that prohibited Rroma from owning a home causing them to change their name.

If you are talking about Ethinic Slurs in Names (for the G~ item/similar items), don't bother. They absolutely do not care and don't consider it an issue worthy of attention (or at least they didn't at the time). The definitive answer given was - we are not going to change this... it's a non-issue. It really sucked. sad
