When you offend about half the people in an organization and many more supporter in the community, you're in a hole. It is time to stop the nonsense.

Yes, there are some racists--in all races and ethnicities, but not all are the same as the others within the group. This collectivist approach to is in and of itself wrong at best and evil at worst.

We would not advocate that, because it would be offensive. Nearly as offensive as 16 Bridge-building Tips.
