Can we just agree that racism is stupid? I'd really prefer to not see it on
here, because I for one see enough of it in rl (not directed at me, but I do
see it) that I would really prefer to imagine that most runners are
proffesional enough to not be racist, and if they are, to not post their
hate on a board with people who may reacted in violent ways to their
sentiments. I don't mean that all plots involving racism should be killed,
it's a great plot device, but perhaps and discussion of hatred should be
their for a reason.
