Was called a racial slur for being a breton in game?

[MartyrSaint]

Why do I keep being called a Milk Drinker? Are all nords racist or is it only a Windhelm thing?

lol milk drinker

[Junipercat]

"You young weak kid keep drinking mama's milk. Not what a real strong adult drinks."

That is the concept. It is an insult but doesn't deal with race but age/perceived strength, so is not "racist".

[Nabinkemper]

All Skyrim races have a chance to say it. It's in all of the dialogue tables. It implies you are infantile and unable to best them in combat. Stop trolling.

[Von Faustien]

you Fetchers call that a racial slur? Back in the good old days we'd call you outlander scum N'wah and to bad if you didnt like. things went down hill fast after they banned the purchases and sale of farm equipment because it was morally wrong. dam mongrol imperial dogs Resdayn will rise again.

"Poncy little milk drinker, that one."

it means you're a baby, a coward, a weakling, a p**sy, though I never really understood that insult either, since a vagina can stretch many times it's original size and return to normal, and all human life and much happiness originates there... calling someone a p**sy should be a positive.. Ahh, well, insults don't make logical sense, do they?

pretty sure you'll get called that no matter your race. It goes right with "Let me guess... someone stole your sweetroll."

Comes from the time when majority viewed females as the weakest sex so is insulting to a male to be called something they viewed as primary purpose is to get 'f..ked.

So it does make logical sense, especially from a social standpoint. Doesn't make it better, just that there is reason behind it and not just a random string of words with no meaning.

That is not a racial slur. It's literally just a normal insult, it means someone who doesn't drink.

[ChrillBill]

I always thought it was just an insult, implying you are somehow weak.

Or at least, looking like a weakling.

They are simply calling you a baby. Someone too young to drink anything but milk.

However, the Nords are indeed racist. Especially in Windhelm.

Why are nords racist? Who hurt them?

They don't have to be hurt to be racist. Look at our own history. People just being stupid.

Just because. In medieval times, most people lived in tightly-knitted communities, and were generally distrustful of strangers. The stranger the strangers, the more distrustful they became.

The elves!

Nords are not at all racist or xenophobic in comparison to medieval realities. The lore says otherwise, as does the abundance of outlanders in Skyrim cities like Riften and Windhelm.

[Sgt. Apples]

Yeah I agree they need to remove it from the game Imo especially since I play as a redguard and its very insensitive of the real world ramifications
