Goatfell,

How someone chooses to descrbe their appearance is their business.

It is also not an essential bit of information as far as this discussion goes, having obviously been directed specifically at the daily mail reader to let him know that he is not only talking to white people on this website.

So your curiosity has no grounds by any means to extend to the apparent outrage you sem to be expressing.

And Riflemans unwillingness to say has no bearing on his character or courage.

In fact, the only reason he has mentioned his colour at all has been in response to Daily Mail Readers apparent support of the BNP.

The BNP is Anti non-white without being specific.

Rifleman is saying that he is non-white without being specific.

The rest is irrelevant detail.


Besides which, in the society that I aspire to, there would be no need to mention any aspect of his skin colour or yours or mine or anyone elses so he is right not to feel any responsibility to inform anyone of his skin colour, any more than he has a responsibility to show his papers on demand.
