You'd think someone that spends his day coding would have bothered how to work out how to do a normal thumbs up like everyone else. Unfortunately, I am what some refer to as a twat. So I decided to find a website with ASCII thumbs up - old school shit - basically the 256 characters that 8 bits can combine to form the alphabet and other weird characters (if u weren't aware and certainly dont care!) ...however! When you paste these character to make a massive ASCII thumbs up - the forum PHP coding, removes all the 'white spaces' - space is actually an ASCII value too..thus we ol' school geeks demand it [space] be recognised and not discriminated against - by removal.
All sites such as this have a method for posting code blocks which skips the whitespace removal for reasons that must be obvious to anybody that spends his days coding.

That's an example of something you judge as racist, but I asked for a definition of "racist", not for an example.
Attempting to separate you human beings into different races.

I too would support and encourage Emmanuel to take issue with atto if he was so inclined, natch. But are you suggesting that only those who are victims of a racist speech or action can call it out? Taken to extremes, that leaves the weak and vulnerable to fight for their rights alone. Are none of us allowed to have allies?
Oh dear. That's not racist and patronising at all. The 'great white hero' galloping in on his white stallion to defend the honour of the 'weak and vulnerable' man who is incapable of speaking for himself. I'm sure Idris Elba will be delighted to know that he's safe in your hands.
The only truly vulnerable group in any society is children. Next would be women and the elderly. Skin tone doesn't come into it.
