I have listened to enough uneducated unsubstantiated minimisation of what is factual. I am not going to explain the obvious. The fact that racism is acceptable and rife by certain members here is completely astonishing to me. However, it seems to be amusing and tolerated by others and a way of life for even more.
No wonder the world calls you guys racist. No wonder. It's not acceptable. At all. I am not discussing this any further. It's toxic, I am sick of it.
I respect that you don't want to discuss it anymore; I think plenty has been said. I do disagree with you that one poster's dig at women who like dark skinned men (big whoop) is indicative of an entire membership or country minimizing, advocating or proliferating racism, hatefulness towards children, and bullying. I think calling someone a Pedophile (worst fucking thing a person can be, in my opinion) is much worse than calling someone mixed-race. There is no wrong-doing or insult in being of mixed race. I enjoy a lot of your posts and have laughed at many good one-liners you've thrown out there. I just think you were off the rails on this; too unfocused and accusatory to ignite any serious discussion of the many many serious topics that somehow made their way into your posts. Maybe good to open a thread on the topic(s) for discussion and debate if you feel like discussing them again and truly welcome differing opinions from other smart opinionated people.
