Dippin and Plan9 have said it nicely enough but just so that we're clear, I'm really not interested in assuming or accusing you of being a racist. I am much more interested in determining why chose to interpret my posts as you did, figuring what contributed to such an understanding and making clear that your hasty interpretation not only invalidates your argument that it's others who see racism where it isn't, but also says much more about yourself than you probably intended to.
On the whole, I'm not a big fan of stereotypes but I can draw a pretty clear distinction between them and racism.

Who's made the claim you're arguing against? Other than yourself, who's contributed such energy to this discussion?
All in all, there's some pretty interesting stuff lying underneath the surface that I believe to be worthy of discussion. It may not be appropriate to have it out in this thread but we'll never arrive at a clear enough understanding of where we're all coming from if we're too busy attempting to make clear what we're not saying and preemptively getting all defensive and butthurt.
