I use the word potentially, as whilst I belive it is a racist joke, others may not think so. If the site admin come back and agree that it was racist then fine, until then it might be racist. How's that?

I pay my subs, have done for a few years. I am entitled to a reply to an issue I've raised I think, whether my accusations are unfounded or not.
If they are not, and the admin deem the comment nopt to be racist, then let them tell me that. I'm quite happy to accept their decision.
Silence isn't helping.

What do you find racist about it? I honestly can't see how it could be seen as racist.
I've already justified it over and over and am not going to again.
Also, it is actually a matter under investigation by the admin ( until I hear otherwise ), we shouldn't actually be discussing it, what should be discussed is WHY I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE POWERS THAT BE?????

I am South African, I have seen what racism does. It's not funny.

You don't speak for the admin, so don't be putting words in their mouths.
I trust that when I do get an answer you will apologise for your erroneous assumption.
So if you have a problem, contact Crowley - he should be able to help you out.

I know for a fact that at least two of the people posting here are of mixed race origin, and they can't see what was racist in Crowley's post. And those who have attempted to back you up cant provide a reason either 😛

If the site admin won't get involved in the forums, then my allegation that they are, in effect, promoting racism by NOT acting against people who make racist comments and by NOT ensuring such threads are properly moderated.
