Still, human beings aren't pure white or black, so the point is moot.

Dammit, what do cows have to do with this?

Wouldn't it just be easier to go back to saying "white", or"Black", or brown", and whatnot?

What's wrong with calling people what they want to be called?

Nothing. I just meant in the general sense. I don't see how using words such as "white" or "black" is racist, particularly if that's what you happen to be. I'm both a white man, and a disabled man, and I'm not offended if people refer to me in those terms, and I have black friends who feel the same.

You have black friends! Good job!

Sorry, it's just not as simple as that, and the whole "I have black friends who..." line is the punchline of so many jokes that it's hard to take seriously at this point.

I'm mostly pink.

I turn blue if I'm cold.

No, you weren't. That's why it's funny.

A lot of them are black and white.

They are, but why bring facts and reality into racism?

This may just be the stupidest thread I've ever read on the BBS. Is there an award for that? It's kind of an amazing feat given the history of this board.

Sweet! There is an award!

My face is slightly red today thanks to the sun and my ancestors being the palest people in history (the Irish and vampires).

What about the brown and white cows? Do they not have rights or is it their jobs just to give us chocolate milk?

Irish vampires are awesome.
