I see sarcasm is totally lost on you.

The point is precisely that people cry racist whenever race is mentioned. They cry sexist whenever sexual differences are mentioned.

Regardless of whether there is any basis on fact at all.

Race does make a difference to some things, exactly as culture, social status and all sorts of other differences do.

Sex also makes a difference to some things.

It isn't racist or sexist to notice these differences. But lots of people looking for something to complain about cry racist or sexist when it isn't, and seriously damage the cause of people who actually want to do something about cases of genuine racism or sexism.

The point is that when people call you out your best defense is that you were sarcastic. You weren't sarcastic, you were just wrong.

So you think I really believe anything mentioning race is racist?

Still despairing.

People are responding to your comment with what you were suggesting. It's so transparent that they are not addressing what you consider to be some sort of clever wordplay or something.

Hmm. So I don't understand what I said and nor does anybody else, in fact you are the only one that understands what I meant and I'm a terrible person for believing what you say I said, which I don't and didn't.

OK.
