Whenever someone tries to discuss this emotive subject with you, there are no accusations of racism or political correctness thrown about. The matter gets discussed, points are raised and things move on. That is the way it should be. You see their point and they see yours, even if no agreement is reached.

Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for European Americans over African Americans.
There's no shame in it though. The shame would be to act upon it.

Or that could just be more leftie bollocks.

I would say you are. And I would also say that you only defend yourself from such an accusation when it is by someone like myself - if fairydandy (as the most obvious example recently) calls you out on it you stay strangely silent. Hmmm...
No, you are quite correct, you have not called anyone a racist on here (as far as I know); but why should you still - as site admin - have the right to accuse them of such a thing (just because of your own interpretation) in a PM then? You are still accusing someone of racism. And I am fully aware it is not just I that has had this bullshit thrown at them - there are others on here who don't even want to post anymore because they are rounded on all the time: that is not how a website like this should be.

You have now got to that stage in a debate or argument where you probably can't go any further because you have no perceived points of commonality.
It won't get resolved by further discussion. Is it time to let it go and move on. I'm sure no one here is a bad person, let's debate without the personal insult eh?

then what would you call referring to "at least one" poster as racist?

Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?
