>Is anyone forcing you to use a default?

Why don't you levy this argument against yourself?

>How are you excluded because other people can make different choices?

Because I cannot. By your own points, I can't express myself in a race-neutral way anymore.

>Maybe being disgusted by others choices for casual conversation is a personal matter. Something you could address with software to disregard whatever is so offensive, or a support group, or inward reflection.

This is, again, better levied against your position.

How? I don't feel forced by others having options or even the existence of a default.

>> Maybe being disgusted by others choices...

I'm not the one whose disgusted or even bothered. Not even by your opinion. (I just don't share it.)

>> How are you excluded because other people can make different choices?

> Because I cannot. By your own points, I can't express myself in a race-neutral way anymore.

Thanks for clarifying. IMO you can just accept the defaults, whatever their tone/complexion, and move on. I don't think anyone is bothered by yellow being an imperfect attempt at race neutrality, so long as there are options for folks to pick whatever they're comfortable with.

The sheer length of the discussion suggests otherwise.

Is 5 comments really that deep? IMO it only suggests that misunderstandings and disagreements take a while to sort out in a text mediums.

Debate doesn't mean people are out to get you.
