Go back and read the post I'm talking about. Race was explicitly mentioned. As in a white person should not go there, because they would be targeted.

Are you saying that any mention of race = racism???

It's a ridiculous stretch. But again, it's what they think that they're supposed to do.

There is nothing racist about what I wrote. I pointed out that there's currently racial tension in the city - as noted in the recent Providence College thread.

No, I'm saying that claiming a white person will be targeted and hurt by due to their race is racist.


And you would say the same to anyone who suggested a black person wouldn't be safe due to their race at a food truck in East Greenwich

Let's stop being so divisive and othering. People who look different than you are not out to get you.

The unidentified hockey player who was assaulted was attacked by "two females" according to every report I can find. Is female a race now, and does female on female violence count as "racial tension"? Or are you assuming something that hasn't been reported?

I believe the recent incidents in the PC area involved black kids targeting PC students. White PC students.

What does that mean, you "believe" it?

I'll also remind you that the greatest threat to a woman is not a stranger at a Chimi truck. It's the men in her family.

And I "believe" that's even more true for older women who are less likely to be fought over by young men at a chimi truck. Your crime stats probably back that up. Most perpetrators and victims of stranger crimes are young males.

The greatest threat to a woman at a greasy food truck in a sketchy neighborhood is most certainly not the men in her family. And when you arrive at the planet without the threat of racial violence present, please send for me at once. Unless of course, you find that its inhabitants factory farm and butcher humans for sandwiches.

The greatest threat to a woman at a food truck in a sketchy neighborhood is heart disease.
