Don't think there's any over reactions. I think it's been a good post and good replies, Its a genuine q's and a's, let's not stifle that!

For sure we have, but the quickest darn way is for all of us to stop the time wasting unneeded upfront apologies that detract from the issues.if you are white you are white, if I'm black, I'm black, if you come from mars you are probably green? If you know racism is wrong, great. If you keep...

So, just assuming your a white guy (probably wrongly) and just assuming that I'm a black guy(maybe wrongly) how about we have a party, you black up and go as me, and I get out the talcum powder and go as you, shall we both not be offended, or we both be honoured someone took the time to be us?
