this probably doesn't need to be said to anyone who will actually read it, but i thought i'd make it clear nontheless. statements that are inappropriate in all circumstances:

Also, while it's not exactly on the subject, I'd be unwilling to accept a Doctor that is non-Caucasian appearing. And no, this is not due to any latent racist views on my part. I just don't see the character working that way.

I don't want a black Doctor. Because I want to fancy him and I don't really find black men attractive.

saying the doctor can't be non-white because the character doesn't "work that way"? racist. justifying not wanting a black doctor because you don't find black men attractive? racist. no, this is not up for debate. this should be clear, and yet apparently isn't to some people. mentioning that statements like this are racist is not an attack against whoever might have said it. it's a statement of fact. if someone says something racist they can own up to the racism of their statement or try and explain it away, it doesn't change facts.

i was much wordier in other places but ya'll shouldn't need this to be explained to you so i think we're good.

Meanwhile, to bring the tone down because that's what I do, I just discovered another way Will Smith is HOTTER THAN THE SUN to me. We just watched this clip: Boom Goes The Dynamite (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W45DRy7M1no) of the worst sportscaster ever, I feel sorry for the dude, but at 2:30 he utters that phrase and it's awesome. Anyway, THEN Will Smith is at the Oscars presenting and references it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpLZ0mvMYlA) and I always thought I could not love Will Smith more, and then it turns out he's a nerd who knows YouTube memes.

In other news, you rock, as always, and I haven't even touched any of those threads on the meme in the last two days or so, because I just cannot deal.

ahahaha those clips were great! no way did that bring the tone down, my friend (how do you get lower than blatant racism anyway? -- no wait, don't answer that), you brought it up with WIN, and sexy will smith. a good strategy. :D
