While I think Kool Kids Klub is an obvious reference, it's still debatable and I wouldn't press it beyond mere speculation. I certainly wouldn't label them as actual racists because I agree that it's primarily done for shock value.

I will say, however, that the blatant references are taking it too far. I still agree that they're not necessarily real Nazis or Muslim killaz, or whatever, but a line has to be drawn somewhere. For the sake of the industry and the stigma of "gamers," we don't need more flak thrown at us if the mainstream media ever runs the headline, "Racists Raiding the World of Warcraft?"
