A joke or subtle racism?

There's a mount call the ball-N-chain mount that reduces speed by up to 60%. Now, am a 1990 onward generation born in a predominant black ethnic race as a probably the only mix kid within my community at the time. I never had to go through any type of discrimination or endure any sort of bigotry. With that being said yesterday in the commons there was some wizards, not going to mention there names, basically dye their characters jet black as the new coloring introduce through the magic mirror theme and basically walk around in ball in chains with someone dress with the witch hunter set walking behind them with the eel whip wand saying pretty much derogatory slanders. Calling them the n word etc basically a role play gone wrong i guess? but they also knew what they were doing.

Am not sure how the gaming industry approaches this type of behaviors, but the concept of releasing a mount like that to the public without any consideration is a bit concerning, especially when it relates to slavery or prison in mates.
