But yeah, if it is something offensive it should be removed. They guy who translated for Jeb should be perma-banned.
It means "Know Your Place". During segregation that's what white people called black people. You can see where that went and now it's considered a swear by most people.

its a racial slur descended from the Romance language's various words for black, such as the french "negare," and the spanish "negro."
It was used without racial or cultural significance up until the late 19th century, to the early 20th century. Honestly about the only worse thing you can call anyone of african descent in the united states, is a "****" which has a much more derogatory intent behind it. Either is a terrible thing to say of, or to anyone of that culture.
woooow, just, simply wow, you know it is things like this that leave me with a feeling of no hope for our society.
I thought we could all move past this whole racial issue and set aside skin difference, and worry about important things like starving people of every age, creed, or color. Expanding our education system for our youth of every race, no matter where you are.
but no, they sit back and fling rhetoric that their grandfathers fathers used and believe it enables them to be a superior to anybody of that race. scum of the earth.

I don't think you understand how humanity works
It's survival of the fittest, and as long as there are differences, there shall be hate. There is hate because humans are competing for dominance of their genetics and moving forward to what they view as perfection. Like an instinctual selective breeding program. Anyone who doesn't fit the status quo is abused and dismissed.

Yes it is, the influence of the Dutch kolonists made the language... In fact it is completely understandable when you know Dutch :tongue.gif:
That's a thing I should remember.
OT: Could you take a look at the post I made on Nightsky+?

It's in the snapshot not the release and has already been confirmed by a lot of people including Jens.

African, in the language itself it says: Afrikaans, its the first one
Not surprising.
@OP:
And stop getting your panties in a wad over it. If you don't like it, switch to your personal language. OR EDIT IT! BAM! Problem solved!
Yeah, but we should be happy that it was just on a pre-release, if it was on 1.1 or the upcoming 1.2, god... this forums would be exploding.
