What in the world does his skin color have to do with anything? Why is it in vogue to make everything an issue of skin color? Skin color was less of an issue 20 years ago than it is today! Racism won't die because people won't let it!

The skin color here matters because while Corbet may see little to no issue (according to man_ls at least), those who have grown up with society already having the deck stacked against them through casual racism, sexism, etc. (nothing usually so overt as the KKK, but, for example, arrest statistics, salary statistics, etc., say *something* is skewed here even though we may not agree on the root causes) may not accept abuse in a venue such as LKML.

... What? What you just said makes no sense and has nothing to do with Jon Corbet's skin color. You're just furthering racism. Skin color is completely irrelevant here. Stop trying to make everything an issue of skin color!
