The fact is that this entire conversation has been about racism.  You called it "implicit" racism.  Crazydawg called it "subconscious" racism.  But it is ALL about racism.  

And if you really are saying there was no racism then you are proving MY POINT. Because if there is no racism then there is no need for anyone to get upset or demand an apology in the first place.

All of these questions can be answered by rereading all of my posts. 

I never called any of this racist. You're free to go back and reread my posts. We've had multiple posts where you claimed that things were being labeled racist and I said they were not. The one word I did use was an "implicit bias". This is your problem. You're continuing to argue straw men. I have already corrected you multiple times on this whole "racist" thing. I haven't called anyone a racist with regards to this topic.

Things do not have to be racist for them to be wrong to say or for them to have a reaction in people.
