BF2S Forums Is this carrying rascism too far?

I skimmed through the article, who was saying that what this Amy girl was saying was racist? I couldn't find the bit that said "so and so found Amy's comments to be racist"

It just says

My point is that any discussion of Obama's "skinniness" and its impact on the typical American voter can't avoid being interpreted as a coded discussion of race.

I mean, the person who wrote this article is a moron.

Holy shit!  I never noticed he was skinny before, I guess I never saw it behind all that blackness.

When white people are invited to think about Obama's physical appearance, the principal attribute they're likely to dwell on is his dark skin. Consequently, any reference to Obama's other physical attributes can't help coming off as a coy walk around the barn.

The sad fact is that any discussion of Obama's physical appearance is going to remind white people of the physical characteristic that's most on their minds.

Can someone admit that this trend of calling people racist for the most trivial of comments has finally gone to far, or does this maroon have a point?

I would agree.  Besides, even if a group of people actually did make the effort to talk in "code" about his race, it's not like PC is going to stop them.

Either someone's a racist or they aren't.  Political correctness and bullshit like affirmative action isn't going to change that.  If anything, it actually encourages it out of resentment.

So yeah, this moron and the millions of others like him need to STFU.
