Ubisoft recently sparked some outrage over including the word "Lesbo" in their Nintendo DS version of Scrabble, which some people found offensive.
I decided to do some minor research, here is a list of several more words present in Scrabble DS:
Cursing: Asshole, Cunt, Fuck, Jism, Mofo, Shit, Wank
Homophobic: Fag, Ponce, Poof, Poon
Racist: Cracker, Dago, Gook, Jew (as a verb, meaning to haggle), Jigaboo, Kike, Raghead, Spic, Wog, Yid
There were many more racist terms but some of them seemed to be obscure words specific to a specific dialect, that I've never even heard before. Ubisoft certainly used a comprehensive dictionary!
FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
