I resent the implication in this question
that just because someone is old, they will automatically have been racist. This is an offensive stereotype of a generation of good, solid, decent people. Take my grandparents, for instance, not a racist bone in their bodies. I know this because they treated their slaves every bit as well as they treated all the other animals that slept in their barn.

I do regret it now, I was trying to parody the lack of self awareness of the racism the actual authors
of a lot of this weeks answers, but it didn't really work.

Still, it would be cowardly to take it down and would look like I was trying to hide something, which is even worse, so I'll have to live with it now.

I hope the number of times I've been called a wanker liberal commie for calling out racism here before stands in my favour somewhat, but yeah, it's a pretty weak defence for an ill thought out reply.

Never mind eh? I'm sure lots of your friends are black.
