1. If you're talking about what I think you're talking about,

I'm pretty sure that was tongue-in-cheek.

On edit: OK, maybe it wasn't -- YIKES!

5. This poll is inherently racist.
You racist. If you have to ask the question, then you are a racist.

So, do you still beat your significant other?

8. Depends on the title or content of the fun thread..if it is something like
"Are black people predisposed to basketball" I'll be happy to ruin it real fast. I am not fond of stereotyping, bigotry or generalized unconsciousness in the area of race, sex, or disability..mental or physical.

9. How often does something that is viewed as racist
turn out to not really contain racist thinking? If it offends somebody, it's offensive. If you don't intend to offend, apologize and change your statement.
