The OP starts out like this:
"I should say, how many of you will admit it. In recent light of the "da vinci code" discussions, I see a lot of you just coming out of the woodworks with some pretty crass remarks. So, I figured, "hey, let's see how many people are really racist".

Weird enough, I am not that racist in Korea. However, back in South Florida. Man...give me a capital R. I can't stand certain things that some cultures do (especially my own). Racism can also be a very fine line. The question is, how do you define it?"

Clearly the poster is a racist and he's calling out other people who might be racist too, perhaps to support his racist beliefs.

Now, I've reported this post several times but I have not recieved a reply and now it's gone on for almost a week. This is absolutely absurd!

If there's a thread that doesn't interest me, like that one, I just don't click the link to open it. It's a fairly simple concept.

I just don't see how this could possibly work.

Methinks someone has infact peed in your lemonade. Life is offensive sometimes, nothing wrong with that. One of my new favorite sayings is "You don't have the right to not be offended." And like it or not, everyone is a little bit racist sometimes. Doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes. (Wink if anyone gets the joke there)

Relax and quit your moaning. The Mods obviously don't think the post is so offensive that it needs to be deleted. However, I would like to firmly recommend this thread be deleted just for the pure btchee-ness and narrow-minded attitude of the OP.

Complaining about threads that are obviously generating a lot of interest has got to be one of the more knobby practices one can indulge in on a message board. I see you're not getting much support for you censorship drive...

Racism is a topic that needs to be discussed. If it is ignored, it only festers until the point where you start hating other people and marching in neo-Nazi parades and setting houses on fire.

I say keep the discussion going and I helped clear up a few misconceptions that some people had.

There are harmful discussions on this board (Canadians vs Americans, any thread mentioning the term "apologists," and anything about Islam).

If it has no interest, I don't look. Smile
