“RACE”………………Always the first thing brought up by media. Here’s a fact for you girls. Chinese committed most of the murders in China.
Thanks for your comment, but I would have to respectfully disagree. Even stretching the limit counting in our profiles pages of individuals such as Sally Bassett and Jemmy Place which could feasibly be considered ‘race’ orientated as they were slaves, and profiles of civil rights leaders like Dr. Roosevelt Brown….out of our 600 odd pages so far – only about 15 of our pages even mention race in any capacity, around 2.5%. A ratio of that level would hardly classify us as always bringing it up IMO.
On that note, it’s not a topic we intend to shy away from in any manner. We don’t intend to rant on about it either, that said, but if an issue involves it – we will print it, same as we print anything else.
We would agree [as would any rational person lol]that Bermudians would rationally be #1 in any stat, since of course we are the bulk of the residents. China as an analogy isn’t quite the same, as it’s a very, very closed society, with very little diversity. Bermuda is widely diverse, racially and ethnically.
