If replies annoy you, maybe you shouldn't start a thread?

I'm not the only one taking offense to your OP, btw, as is evidenced by several other replies. But by all means, if you want to slam people because of the color of their skin, group people by skin color, etc, knock yourself out. Don't be surprised, though, when others call it what it actually is.
