You might want to actually read that wikipedia post.....

"The slang term Guido is used in American culture to refer derogatorily to an urban working-class Italian or Italian-American male who is overly aggressive or macho with a tendency for certain conspicuous behavior.[3] It may also be used as a more general ethnic slur for working-class urban Italian Americans.[4]"



I'm not American and I know plenty of Guidos. It's just a name, and banning people named that is incredibly discriminatory.


I feel the same. Am I supposed to legally change my name so I can continue to sign up for stuff on the internet?


Okay? Strawman much? I'm not arguing that anyone do anything about it. I'm just telling you objectively what it is. The Wikipedia article YOU cited disagrees with you...
