im sorry but i have no idea why the guys race is relevant...i would think the only relevant fact is that he is male, and therefore more likely than the woman buyer to throw a hissy fit and start the equivalent of 'my dads going to beat up your dad!'...seriously?? what has his clour got to do with it! an asshole is an asshole! |

"so why bring his race into it ?
"
Exactly. I'm not sure what his race has to do with the story. The fact that you've made an issue would indicate that you see his race as part of the issue  |

He sounds like a big bully and is doing his culture no good but I'm sure he is a loose cannon and others of the same culture are not like that. You shouldn't let a big bully such as him make you feel this way.
Try to stay calm, the Police have been informed. |

I find that people who make such threats are usually complete and utter helmets that like to talk tough but haven't actually got the stones to do what they say they're going to do.I'd ignore the prick and forget all about it  |

"Am I being stupid here? Where does the OP mention the guys race?"
By mentioning the name (or at least a culturally appropriate name) and insisting several times he's not racist. Therefore making it about race. |

"Why did you delete your post op? Spelling mistake?"
Probably because they are upset and wanted to offload it. Wrote a post and then realised it was a mistake as people started to have a go?
Just a hunch  |

He hopefully realised it wasn't completely thought through. I am waiting for the 'this site is too PC' backlash to be posted soon. |

So not a typo then? 
You know a thread is gonna be good when it starts with "I'm not a racist, but..." |

It's true, I tend not to sit idly by when I see racism. |

I thought you'd pop up. I wonder how sanguine you'd be if a middle eastern or Asian person had posted the same post about a white man. |

I don't think they meant any harm. And like Wyrdwoman said they realised it wasn't completely thought through.
And let's consider that, if a Caucasian gave abuse to a someone from a minority, it would be classed as a race crime and would be ALL about race. |

When you have to point out "I'm not racist" you probably just said something racist.

In what way do you think it was racist then? The OP sold a car and got threatened by someone. The race of the person who made the threat was not even mentioned in the OP. |

It's refreshing to see a forum become less tolerant to bigotry.
Maybe the Op has learned something about their own perception even though I'm confident that they meant no malice. |

But they did state their name was raj when then name of the buyer wasn't mentioned and they did state their actions did nothing for race relations. Pretty clear that the race of the person was very important to them. |

There's a lot of that I'm not "this" but going around these days the OP might not think they are indeed racist and probably meant not to come across as they did. But they could have said what they said without mentioning race at all. So why feel the need to mention it, unless they are inferring that because of his race is is more likely to be a twat.

the title of the post makes it clear he sees something other than a simple angry man, otherwise why say 'the cause'?..he calls the guy 'raj', and then mentions that he is not a racist about 5 times, making it clear, as well as another comment about the 'culture'...if you cant see very clear racism in that, that, as i said is your problem. Feigned dis-ingenuousness just makes people look very very stupid. |

So you admit the race of the guy wasn't specifically mentioned in the OP then. Glad we cleared that up. All the rest is just assumption and supposition on your part. |

By deleting the opening post the Op has basically confirmed that they regret writing it. That leaves me of the opinion that it was not malicious, but most racism is not malicious or overt.
I applaud the Op for showing some regret, we all have to learn about ourselves. It helps if we're not demonised in the process. |
