This.
We’re not naive enough to believe you said the word but nothing else, just like saying “American” or “European” by itself is fine. You know exactly what you did, and coming here to complain about it isn’t going to help your cause. Serve your suspension and use this time to think about how to appropriately interact with others so you don’t get another suspension since another one will likely be longer.

It’s amazing how many times people come here and say how innocent they are, then Gaile posts and says what they actually said. This tends to make people skeptical when someone posts and says they never, ever said anything wrong and yet somehow got a suspension.

I wouldn’t be surprised if your the player that got reported a few days back in WvW for calling another player a “dumb ni***”
If it was then … the 5 or 6 of us who were in group with that player all hope you enjoy your ban.
As others have said – you don’t get banned for saying things the way you have tried to portray, ANET might be hardline at times but they are not that stupid.
Learn to be chat maturely … is all I can say really

I do not think that the OP needs more people that tell him we don’t believe him. To the OP I would say that this will be resolved by an arenanet official. All chat is recorded, so that person will know exactly what you said. So if you said something else it would be honest bout it.
Arise, opressed of Tyria!

“Got Banned For Saying The Word ‘African.’” Is that really your position? Because the records prove, and I’m sure you know, that you said far, far worse than “African.” You used an offensive, racial slur more than once, and you were (accurately) reported and actioned. In addition, you were not “banned” but suspended, as explained in the in-game message that you were shown when the action was taken.
However, do be aware that if you continue to use that sort of offensive language, you will suffer serious consequences, up to and including account termination. So give a thought to your in-game chat and avoid offensive words and phrases.
