Are you serious? Which of my postings are conceived from a racist
viewpoint?

As to whether 'race' exists, I'm not an anthropologist, but did you
check with the Royal Anthropological Institute website? I just have,
and they use the term. So perhaps you banned a legitimate
anthropologist who was just trying to be helpful.

I don't wish to fall out with you. I agree with your aims entirely,
but I think you're being a bit unfair. The fact is that this group
is specifically to fight racial harassment, but the title is just
Anti Racism UK. So anyone interested in fighting racism, or in
Fatima's case feels a victim is likely to subscribe.

Do you think it might be best to change the name to something more
specific?

I should add that sexual harassment can be even worse than racial
harassment.

Regards

Bill
