Do you see what I'm getting at, racism in verbal form is about the content of statements, not about phonetics. Attacking these silly individual words doesn't stop racism. Educating people stops racism, which includes all these ignorant people hurling the word 'racist' around.

I'm not referring to you Girth, you have made some very solid arguments all over the forum, but some of our fellow posters are using this word 'racist' to hide behind their ignorance, when ignorance is what causes discrimination.
Good post

Racism is caused my ignorance. Some forum members simply are not prepared to understand.
