Obviously if I were making a joke about it or putting anyone down, then yeah, sure, slap me down. But if I'm supporting your cause then why does it matter that I'm not the same colour? Like, if I started a thread about how Chinese people are treated and then a Chinese member came on saying "You can't say that, you're not Chinese!" How does that make sense?
Yeah my bad. I'm not really talking about that specific situation, it was more a response to Vanilla than you, and I don't really disagree with either of you - I'm just saying that I try to be conscious of my role in these conversations.
