"but that they would join the discussion and start new threads"

I'm sure we all agree - "people of colour", with the exception of yourself, are conspicuously absent in the various discussions of racial issues that come up here from time to time, and it has often struck me as unfair that you should have to bear the standard here for all the world's "people of colour". (And I know that you often make it clear that your opinions are your opinions only).

Anyway - you handle it well!
