How about this:Said Paradox in a statement to Eurogamer:
We shipped the game originally with an accurate representation of humans, that is to say diverse in both ethnicity and personality. We embrace the idea that players mod the game to best represent how they want to play, we do NOT however wish to enable discriminatory practices. We appreciate any inappropriate mods being brought to our attention and will take them down where necessary, we also encourage players to make use of the flagging function provided by Valve where needed.
I'd easily classify the black only mod as discriminatory just like the white one.
It wasn't the mod itself that led to its removal, though, but a change to its description that was made after it was posted. We saw the mod, thought it wasn't in very good taste, but let it remain. Then the creator of the mod decided to update the description of the mod to promote an 'agenda' not related to computer games at all, and this was being clearly displayed on our product page, Community Manager Paradoxal Bear wrote on Reddit. We decided it was a step too far and removed it.
We have a few rules of conduct that have been in effect for the better part of a decade where racial slurs, among other things, are not allowed. We interpreted this particular mod as breaking those rules of conduct, however it would appear that the comments surrounding the mod, rather than the mod itself, were the biggest problem.
There is still a white-only mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=688760542&searchtext=one+race) and an asian-only mod in addition to the black-only mod. Read the thread (or even just the OP). The mod wasn't removed simply because of its function.Said Paradox in a statement to Eurogamer:

From the OP. Be honest, did you read it at all?
Right. Because "a few redditors" think that triggered it it must be true? I'd take official statements over hearsay of random internet skeleton's any day, but that's just me.

I don't really think it's that big of a deal. It is a role playing game. Someone may want to make a game world where the chinese get out and start colonizing planets. That's not racism.Yet their other statement said anything discriminatory would be removed from the workshop. Yet, the other race mods remain. I'm not debating why it was removed, I'm saying that there should be no race mods allowed whatsoever in accordance with their statements.

You got banned already (and I think anyone looking at your posts understands why, though you probably refuse to do that instead of looking at the mirror), but I'll reply anyway.Yet their other statement said anything discriminatory would be removed from the workshop.

It says discriminatory practices. The mod isn't doing discriminatory practices in itself necessarily, but how the creator went on about most certainly was discriminatory.We embrace the idea that players mod the game to best represent how they want to play, we do NOT however wish to enable discriminatory practices

Nothing was getting through to the guy anyways we were all repeating the same thing and he was ignoring it.Edit: Goddamnit other mod
I'm not sure what's scarier, open racists, or racists that hide under the guise of equality.Yet their other statement said anything discriminatory would be removed from the workshop.

Like I'm sure that there are people out there that want to roleplay a future where white people wiped out all the other races and then took their crusade to space. But let's be honest those people are a tiny minority.I'm not sure what's scarier, open racists, or racists that hide under the guise of equality.
Yet they leave the black only mod still on the workshop. Real classy, Paradox.
Here's the mod:

So if man a gay and black, it is tolerant.
If a man hate gays and blacks, it is racism.
If a man hate normal people and whites, it is tolerant. WTF???!!!
DOUBLE STANDARDS???!!!
The real irony in some of those comments is that the mod maker has also created other versions of that same mod for other races, including whites.lol at the comments of that mod.
lol at the comments of that mod.
The mod was ok. The description was not. You can be a racist make it known, just please don't put it into words. That's the offensive part.
lol at the comments of that mod.
Particularly this one:
Normal people, huh?
DISCLAIMER:
Well hello all! Hasn't this been a wild ride of lies and slander?
Here is the original mod by the original mod creator (Lord Xel / Progeny of Europe)
This is really just being uploaded as an experiment to test how far Paradox will lie about banning my other mod.
So here are the 'rules' imposed by PARADOX:
1) I can't mention a certain non-offensive commonly used word
2) I can't link to my YouTube Channel - Paradox specifically slandered it.
3) NO COMMENTS THAT ARE EVEN REMOTELY TRIGGERRING FOR SWEDES
Please, any comments that will trigger Paradox and send them into an irrational fit of lies will be removed.
These are the three "reasons" why my other mod was taken down - so lets enforce them, eh?
If you are going to leave a comment, talk as though you are talking to the Stasi.
Since Paradox never contacted me and only gave conflicting reports to gaming media about why they removed my mod, I can only go off of what they said. If we abide by these new rules that they just made up we should be able to prevent it getting taken down.
What this mod does:
Simply makes humans Europeans and adds a name list for European names.
Use it as a mod resource, everyone is free to use and reupload to your hearts content.
Make modding freedom great again.
Same guy put the same mod back up with the following description instead:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=690928807&searchtext=European
*sigh* To top it all off he ended by showing he's a Trump supporter.
Stay classy.
Idea for a new mod
We need to show Paradox that we are inclusive and what not. So how bout if you make a mod that changes everyone to monkeys with names like Tyrone, Daquan and Ooga Booga?
DO NOT TRIGGER THE SWEDES
What slander is this dude talking about?

He got accused of being a white supremacist just for agreeing with white supremacists on the topic of white supremacy.
