it would be fine up here. Canadians tend not to be as anal as our brothers in the south.

Considering there are still segregated graveyards in the south, it is easy to see how one would become anal about this sort of thing....

This is a fallacy.

There are "still segregated graveyards in the South"--because they're historical or family grave sites, and they've basically decided they want them to be left "as is".

But if you really want to get into it--every graveyard everywhere is "segregated". You see different faiths, different economic statuses, et al given their own areas.

Assumably the PC brigade would prefer to have all those bodies exhumed and mixed up then re-buried?

I don't know about White Supremacist Goblins or Nazi Guardsmen, but I do remember a review of "Space Hulk" in a generic computer magazine, and they did suggest that such a game should be played with the curtains closed, given the iconography and background involved. (Giant eagles everywhere, "Purge the Unclean" and so forth.) Given the xenophobic and fascist nature of the Imperium of Man as described, I reckon SonderKommando Guard would fit right in. WHFB isn't much less xenophobic either, so maybe KKK Gobbos are the way to go?

I fear this is going a bit off topic, my point was only that in different parts of the world things that may seem to not be offensive may be offensive to others. Some parts of the world have moved past this kind of thing but a lot have not.

If you have to ask if something is racist, you may not want to do it.

White supremicist goblins? Goblins are green. Perhaps some albino goblins banded together? Are they going to take on Black Orcs? Good luck to them.

Goblins are pretty racist, as a default. If you wanted to paint up Night Goblins in a colour scheme that denotes their racists connotations you should paint them with black robes. On the other hand if someone wanted to paint them with white robes because, oh I don't know, they like the way it looked and wanted something different, well then that's something else entirely.

If people call you out on having white robed goblins, explain to them that it has no relevance to the KKK and was a stylistic choice. If this doesn't appease them, then they have their own issues to address.

How about, depending on your skin tone, going into certain neighborhoods is hazardous to your health?

I hate that that is true... People need to look past colour.
