Pirate Groups...

Is it just me, or does it strike you as slightly racist to imply that Hispanic peoples are criminal by nature? Seeing as all the pirate groups in FL came from the Hispania ...

All of them. So you are saying Rouges, Hackers, Mollys, Gaians, Xenos, Blood Dragons, Golden C, Farmers Alliance, Red Hessians, LWB, Unioners and Bundshuch *gasp for breath* are all Hispanic?

Well, fine, fine...Outcasts and Corsairs

Let me rephrase:

Is it just me, or does it strike you as slightly racist to imply that Hispanic peoples are criminal by nature? Seeing as all the people thatcame from the Hispania are now pirates?

Take a look at the names of Liberty police, navy officers etc. You'll find Hispanic names cropping. So maybe that is "racism" too?

another idiot reading more into the game than the game itself provides....

how about we remove the warning labels from everythnig and let nature takes its course? sure would mean a hell of a lot less idiotic posts in the forums....

I hope you aren't one of those damned "inquisitors" hunting "political uncorrectness" everywhere and burning everything what is found guilty of "uncorrectness".
"Hispania" was unlucky and her passengers were stranded in the most hostile parts of the sector, cut from the rest of refugees. So after long years of desolation they took another way of life - it doesn't mean that they are criminal by "racial" nature.

Strange... What made you think that Spaniards are a "race"? Maybe racism?
