I totally agree with you, but in birracerveza's dead comment he strongly disagrees without offering any explanation: "He is explaining the reason that he stopped going, and bringing race into the mix. That is racism."

No, that is not racism, but "many people" think that way because they have been wrongly taught to believe that any mention of race is racism, which is incorrect.

And birracerveza is one of those "many people" who really need to educate themselves by reading up on the topic of racism, starting with "Mentioning Race Doesn't Make You a Racist [1]", and continuing on to wikipedia [2] to learn what racism really is.

Hint: Ask yourself if Cbeck527 systematically oppressed anyone by "stopping going" or "bringing race into the mix"?
