Was My Name Really Offensive

Today Riot made me change my name. I was pissed. I loved my name. I was... Ashy Kneegro. Being a black guy with chronically ashy knees, I believed this was a perfect name. When my friends saw my name they were like, "damn bruh that is accurate." Why Rito why. I don't think any black person would have found this name offensive.

I then tried to name myself after my favorite item that was unfortunately removed. But apparently "Sword of the Occult" contains profanity. Never new cult was profanity.

First you rework all of my favorite champions, ( ), then you take my name.

Edit: People are saying rito dosen't care about race when it comes to names like these but even if I was white this name really isn't offensive.

There's no skin color on the internet Everybody is of every race at the same time Riot told you to change your name because society dictates that the spanish word for "black" can't be used by whites You're both a white person and a black person on the internet. Ergo, you can't use that word.

Doesn't seem bad to me, it's not insulting anyone.

sad , any thing they think or perceive as racist is just that. im sure it wasnt meant to be offensive, i dont think it is, but someone reported you for it ( most likely out of spite ) and here we are.

but once again its not whether or not it was or is racist , it is perceived as such therefore perception is reality welcome to being pc
