RSC's warning system, racist?

Note the colors they chose for their infractions. Is this a form of racism? yellow - minor offense - a reference to Asians? red - major offence - a reference to North American and other Indians? black - extreme offence and banned - a reference to Africans? Why not use non-race associated colors, like green, blue, purple?

it is a known fact that this web page is a haven for racists as is the race industry in general. there has been a systematic movement to intimidate and harass minorities such as me as well as blacks and asians from the sport.

The colours are from the flags used in real racing, in order of severity - yellow flag (slow down), red flag (race stopped), black flag (driver disqualified). Nothing to do with racism IMHO.

Jeff, let it go, mate.

It's a generic bbs forum software package that does this. I think it's more likely that the colors are from soccer, not racing. After all the other non-racing sim forums that use it, mention yellow card and red card (and they don't use public warnings for first offenses).

At least you have answered your own question, otherwise I sense a one man campaign to ban racist traffic lights all over the world for some more politically sensitive pastel shades...

Funny, but slightly disappointing not to find a single Monty Python reference in your reply, have you lost the touch ? Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "When two or more people are gathered together in my name, they shall perform the Parrot Sketch..." --Our Lord John Cleese--

Goy, I believe you are suggesting that Jeff is a symbol of the oppression of the evil force known only as RSC and we should refer to him from this point on as "Loretta" and fight for his right to have babies. Some will be quick to point out that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even RSC's, but that he can have the right to have babies, which is symbolic of his struggle against oppression.

At least there aren't any green people, and please don't give the USA judges or congress any ideas.

So what does the chequered flag mean? I certainly do not want blacks intermixing and intermarrying with whites! I demand a change - we should all write to Bernie Ecclestone. T.

EX-cu-u-u-u-se me?! You have obviously never watched The Muppets. It's not easy being green, you know. BK "Jeff Reid" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:SR6Re.150741$E95.138206@fed1read01... > At least there aren't any green people, and please don't give > the USA judges or congress any ideas.
