I remember a guy who got his xbox account permabanned because his username was "kike8572", and the support wouldn't give him his account back even after explaining that kike in Spanish is just a shorthand for the name "Enrique" (his name).

To me, even a single instance of this is more hurtful and wrong than every other usage of the word "kike" online combined.

Better one hundred guilty people go free than one innocent be convicted wrongly. Something is horribly broken about our current system.
