The Roosh V Forum was, and always will be, a forum dedicated to guys traveling to other countries for the purpose of gaming women. It involves sharing advice about other countries in order to assist in the pursuit of game. Providing advice about game involves making generalities about human nature, specifically, female psychology. Given the intersection between this, and traveling to other countries, such advice will necessarily involve making generalizations about the people who live in certain countries. This, by definition, is racism.
If you ban racism here, you are literally banning the entire reason why this forum exists.
To demonstrate this point, if racism here is banned, the following types of comments would not be allowed:
"Women from Country A generally prefer X."
"Country B has bad food and an expensive standard of living."
"Women from Country C are easier to game compared to Country D."
Such comments are not only helpful to readers, but fall within the scope and purpose of the Roosh V Forum.
Furthermore, to be consistent with the philosophy of banning racism, we would need to scrub the forum of 50-90% of it's former content.
You could argue that only "hateful" comments will constitute racism, but this will always be a matter of degree. Consider the statement "Country B has bad food and an expensive standard of living." This is clearly a negative statement about the inhabitants of Country B. Where do you draw the line between criticism and hate?
I would recommend that the forum operator not ban people for racism.
