Calling a group or an action racist is permitted in this Forum, but calling other posters racist is name-calling and is prohibited.

Knock it off.

And since you have already been Warned for name-calling in this thread, this is a second **Warning** that you are out of bounds.  
You can be as passionate about this topic as you wish, but you are not to turn it into a personal fight.
