So verbal assault, harassment, and threats shouldn't be an issue?

No, verbal assault, harassment, and threats are issues. They should be dealt with as those issues, whether or not there is a racist component.

I'm not condoning racism here. Racism is morally and ethically bankrupt. But I think that your objection to partiallypro's comment doesn't hold water.

Of course its an issue, but arresting someone for saying it and not acting it out seems ridiculous. Words are not actions, even if they are hurtful. Shun the person, ban them from games and platforms, educate them, etc...but arresting them?
