DU sure doesn't seem to mind it: kcr Aug 2015 #22

It's a racist country. I don't see why it comes as a surprise. And most of the problem comes from jtuck004 Aug 2015 #24

Evidently it comes as a surprise for some, and some are in flat out denial. kcr Aug 2015 #26

Nothing wrong with trying to create a board out of people who are racists and insisting that jtuck004 Aug 2015 #31

By those who have been here since it was created. kcr Aug 2015 #35
