it was an honest mistake to think he ment it as a slur (there are other ones like that, for instance "jewed")
the reason why he thought it was a slur was b/c the bigotry of the HL comunity is rather on the high side, as well as not being able to see the skin (thus not getting that it was suposed to be b/c the skin was gooped up)
all of this was a mistake, alot of flames were thrown, alot of people were insesitive (I still think 'grow thiker skin' coments jsut aint right, alot of people have to deal with this bleep every day and thus have every right to **obscenity** down some one who uses slurs)
oh and btw: dictionay.com (gook) Used as a disparaging term for a person of East Asian birth or descent.
don't ever use a source that is just going to smack you as hard is it helps you
guys, just remember alot of people have to deal with this in RL, don't make em deal with it here also, it just aint cool <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

But he wasn't looking at the source in the sense that it could "smack [him]." He was just using it to point out the meaning that had originally [in this thread] been transcribed to the word. Other deffinitions aside, the one first listed from Dictionary.com also stands, depending what your individual take on the word is. For example, the French use "negre" to describe black paints [or any object or colourant that is blackish], but it's the source for the big N word, even in French, so unless it's said in a certain tone, to certain people, it's just a regular colour-describing word. Same as red, blue, purple, et cetera. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

It may be spelled 'gook' like 'cook' but it pronounced 'guck' but longer sounding in the middle. Sheesh ppl.I really don't think that was what the starter of this thread had intended to do was be offensive. Lemme ask you this , lives and lives are 2 different words spelled the same way. Are you going to argue that the first means the same as the second with the fact they are spelled the samebut are pronounced differently? That's what I see happening here , u want to argue , go start a thread about words spelled the same with different meanings. Some times I wonder.......................

its odd that there are so many anti racists here that all play ns, a game basically about one race trying to exterminate another for fun and profit <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I would like to see it with a nice green skin on the casing, with the paint peeling in places showing bare metal. And if the ammo count doesn't work it should probably be reskinned to something else.
