Comments that mention race are not necessarily racist. The specific comment and the context matter.
For more information on racism, please start your education here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

I had a long comment which I was going to post but I am not so sure if I should, or if it will get posted.
Can I just ask one question first…

Why did you feel the need to insert the racist comment, when your website actually warns not to write such things?
“white folks”? It would have been perfectly fine without mentioning that. And just because someone else says it and you repeat it, does not excuse it. That my friend is a stereotype, and one based on race. I would be interested to know if I repeated one about black people would you be okay with that? Or is it just white people who you are happy to perpetuate steroetypes about.

The only thing more annoying/worse than people writing things like “white folk”, or warning people not to be racist, is people who do both of those things and don’t seem to notice the problem.

Also is the ageist, ablist (is that evena word?) etc warning meant to be a joke? I am sure I have broken some rule just by speaking normally.

Super great tips! I agree with you. Sometimes I get rapped up in meat substitudes, so unessesary. Lentils are ine of the healthiest foods. Very nice! Chef Erik's last blog post..Thank You!
