Calm down, Jonny. I'm sure no offense was meant by anybody on here. In all the years I've been on here, I've seen comments like this pop up from time to time, though it's usually about either illegal immigrants, middle easterners, indians, or rednecks (those last two are code for John Andrews or most everybody else on the site). I doubt anybody knew you were black, and I doubt even more than anybody cared. You're black; I'm white; John's red; nOnAmE is clear (and thereby truly a national neutral

) and the most important part of it is that we're all Gutpilers. You're just as welcome at my table as BC... less of course BC offers to bring his smoker and a table full of goodies in which case he gets first dibs, but I digress...

Oh... and the french... we do like to pick on the french...
