"Some races are better suited to certain classes than others"

Wouldn't that statement be considered politically incorrect today?

Yes, if you take it out of context like you did. Include the next sentence and it changes the meaning. What you've demonstrated is a common tactic used by the media to subtly manipulate the words of others to suit their own (often political) agendas.

The terms "race" and "class" have been standard fare in fantasy and sci-fi games since the '70s, and their use in that context shouldn't be interpreted as racist or bearing ill-will. Context is everything. I think you already knew that, though. I suppose this IS the Milliways section.

So how about those master/slave jumpers, eh?

I remember when Everquest first came out, the different races in the game each had distinct advantages and disadvantages but after a few years most of those advantages/disadvantages had pretty much been rendered moot to the point of there not being any reason to have different races in the game at all. You could have a single playable race and it wouldn't have made any difference. Political correctness ruins everything it touches.
