I think the worst was this one: > [@Does "White Culture" Exist?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-white-culture-exist/1026483): > > [Moderation] I’ve split this conversation out of the “What Were You Thinking” Pit thread, which was inspired by this post in the “[WhiteDate and several other “White” sites scraped for data](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whitedate-and-several-other-white-sites-scraped-for-data/1026414/1)” thread in P&E. - Miller [/Moderation] Being a white-skinned person and being proud of who you are is fine. Nobody should be ashamed of their skin color. Being proud because you believe your skin color makes you superior is where the line is. And yes, I have no idea what “white culture” is supposed to be… Ironically, it was spun off from **this thread**. Again, I’m not mad about it. It’s no big deal. But it was an offhand comment, not meant to be the start of a debate. Then it became the start of one that lasted for almost 200 posts. To me, this is the worst kind of unwilling OP I can imagine, and ultimately it wasn’t a problem in any way. I also didn’t have a ton of interest in it; I posted a few replies but bowed out of it pretty early. Yet, no harm came of it. It was whatever. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-were-you-thinking/991532)._
