That type of response is uncalled for and highly inappropriate in my opinion. It is a blatant attempt to create a racial connotation in a conversation that previously had no such connotation. It is also an attemtpt to discredit the opinions of one person by destroying his credibility through painting him as something he is not (in this case a racist). Accepting one's opinion does not necessitate agreeing with that opinion. No one in this thread or the other has discounted your opinion, some may not agree with it, but everyone has been willing to listen to it. I find it intellecutually dishonest, and appalingly so, for you to disparage the intellectual acuity of everyone else and then come out with a response as ridiculous as the one quoted above. There is no reason to turn a spirited debate ugly. No one on this thread has attacked you personally, which is what you have just done.

I agree completely. Calling people racists just because they don't agree with you is despicable.
