How did you guess?

Look you've been shot down so many times by so many people, but 'they're all wrong and I'm right' is your take away?
I'm beginning to think troll rather than misguided.
I'll say it loud so those at the back can hear too:
YOU CAN'T FIGHT RACISM WITH MORE RACISM!
It really is quite simple.
Blocking you seems like the best idea in this thread so far.
Absolutely we all have blind spots, I just think OP's blind spot is addressing 'white people' like none of us live with, and around many cultures, not just races.
If someone were to address my local Polish or Bangladeshi or Muslim or whatever community the same way OP is addressing 'white people' in this post I would call it borderline racist and in fact it would fit in OP's original 'don't do' list.
I appreciate it probably comes from good intentions, but generalizing how entire groups of people should change to suit another group of people is a slippery slope.
As someone interviewed on TV asked; Are these more adverts rather than artworks?
No, but the things they are saying, maybe inadvertently, are starting to seem that way.
Swap 'black' and 'white' in their do not do list. Does it sound racist now?
As you say, all racism isn't obvious. A quick look at their post history shows 7 or 8 race related posts recently.
Repeatedly stating white people should do or not do specific things.
This seems to me like the definition of racism at it's roots.
Yep they were from a multi-colour pack. Glad it's not just me then!
Might try to find just purples next year.
There's currently only 1 user that I've noticed that keeps bringing race up.
That's awesome!
How long did it take?
I've noticed them in my garden too, over the last couple of weeks!
Yeah smoked it a couple of times. Wasn't as good as expected. We were all quite in to party drugs, ie ecstasy, speed, coke, acid etc. The buzz on crack wasn't a patch on a good trip!
