Do you accept challenges to the specific criteria that you have used for the assessment of racism – as this relates to possibly missing links of correlation at play, correlation that you seem to have implicitly presumed as beyond question – or will any such challenge be viewed as sign of disrespect and warrant immediate censorship? This is not a rhetorical question, by the way.
