Raiders, tks for this thread and I agree with your concern.
Please get rid of any threads or posts that are could be seen to be racially inflammatory, including any threads or posts with "guess the race" in them.
If forummers want to discuss anything about race, be balanced in your approach, or go somewhere else please.
There are generally 4 types of people:
1. racists - these are rare and the exception not the norm, almost everything to such a person can be turned into a racial issue.
2. people with prejudices or bias - most people have some type of prejudice or bias, usually based on some personal experiences or things he has read or heard about, they are not necessarily racists.
3. people who are neither 1 or 2 but who have the occasional unhappiness towards a person or persons from another race, sometimes including his own.
4. people who don't even notice that race exists - these are usually people who are so smart and open-minded, they simply transcend all races and race simply doesn't exist to them or people who don't even know what's going on.
For those of type 2 and 3, please let's watch our posts and be balanced and non-inflammatory in our posts.
For those of type 1, you are a rare breed, the exception not the norm. Being a racist is stupid, because you have judged the person even before knowing whether he means well to you or not. Even if you can't help it, try not to be stupid.
