I was going to write a big ol' thing rebuking one or the other of you [@Lucius Cypher][@Prince of Seraphs] but I can't figure out who needs one more, so allow me to say that this entire thing is stupid and try to cut it down.  So Lucius, please do not take tongue-in-cheek suggestions too far, and Prince, don't blamefully misrepresent things and make pronouncements about what fiction has to do or else be insensitive to reality.  'We', as in you, me, all white people, all people, or whatever you want, aren't responsible for the actions of a few.  The actions of people in the past, be it colonization (whether British, Spanish, American, Japanese), to wars throughout history (including Egypt, Greece, and Canaan), to more modern undertakings like the Great Leap Forward, led to countless deaths, and that sure is a shame.  But races aren't responsible; people are responsible.  I don't believe anyone else here would have picked the fight with Lucius' joke that you have over this perceived issue.  Lighten up, will you?
