Everyone is allowed their opinion. Its just a shame that everyone has to go
on about racism and sexism when there are far bigger issues to be dealt
with, such as famine and disease. AIDS, for instance, does not descriminate
between a white heterosexual overweight balding middle aged man and a young
disabled black woman in a wheelchair.
One question I would put to you is if you were mugged down a dark alleyway
by either of the above, would you give the police a description of your
attacker or would you describe them as a member of the human race?
