Okay, the first time I looked at your response half that shit wasn't there, so ignore my first response.
First off, all three of the links you posted from this site are from OTD, a place that explicitly states racism occurs (whether it be serious or in jest.)
You talk of how this is a private, not public, domain. So does that mean automatically that all rules are thrown out the window? This site was created by a staunch libertarian (if I am correct), and there are many other libertarians that are mods. The way they moderate and run this place, or at least the completely social forums of this place, is going to be influenced by their beliefs. Therefore they will be more willing to allow freedom of speech.
Now that is obviously generalizing. But so is saying that the Shroomery allows and promotes racism. First off the primary argument for this is OTD. OTD =/= the Shroomery. I'm also not painting OTD in a negative light, I lurk there all the time and find the place enjoyable. There are also plenty of mods who shut down threads that promote racism in the Pub, or warn/ban the offending posters. Racist jokes do not promote racism in my mind, so often times that stuff gets left untouched (although not always.)
Basically, what I'm getting at, is I still don't see what your complain is, exactly.
As to your view on the subject, I completely disagree with it, just as I did Boomer's. I'm not going to reiterate my views, if you want to know them, go read my other posts in this thread.

I liked your post, except....

It isnt racist to say that all black guys have huge cocks, but it is racist (some think) to say all black people abuse welfare. It isnt racist to say that asians are good at math, but it is racist to say they are bad drivers.
I'm going to have to disagree with that, completely. I'd like to see you walk around Chinatown and ask random Asians for help with your calc homework. See how they take to it. Sure, maybe black guys embrace the notion that their dicks are bigger (according to some studies they are, by about .5 inches on average), but I think most people understand it's still a racist sentiment.
Racism isn't going anywhere, no matter what. If racism bothers you, then ignore the generalizations and give everyone a fair shot. Personally, I acknowledge them, but still give everyone a fair shot. And I do this because of the way I grew up. There's really not much you can do about it.

Thats quite a generalization.

I have no sympathy for people who get butthurt about racism. I've never seen a white guy act all uppety and self-righteous when someone made an unflattering joke about white people... society trains white folk that they're a non-race, and that they should be apologists for hate crimes committed by people they had no control over the actions of.
Political correctness is often just a farce to give other races a hard time under the pretext of equality. It's pretty easy to hate on white people by parading around acting like you're standing up for the minority with frivolous lawsuits and outright blackmail, for example. Don't like white people? Lash out at them by taking every excuse to accuse them of racism and shame them publicly, everyone will rally behind you for being a racist yourself!

As a misanthrope, I hate the human race. A disgusting bunch of cattle we are, prone to being lazy, hateful, selfish, greedy fucks. The sad part is, once upon a time in history, people tried not to be all these things. Nowadays, I step out of my front door and it's all I see.
Nothing is safe, no place is sacred (just recently near my home a man was found shot dead in the back of a church), and people kill each other just for looking at them funny or saying a few words. Tolerance is a thing of the past, as well as hard work, charity, courtesy, humility, and character.
Welcome to 2007, folks.

I have at least 3 negative ratings due to me calling out people/giving them negative ratings because of them spewing racial hatred or using bigoted terms (et al. nigger) and such and so.
You would think with the 15 moderators that The Pub has there wouldn't be any problems with stuff like this, but apparently not.
Just my nine cents. Thanks.
I think it's retarded when little white guys use the term "nigger" over teh intarweb. That's just gay. At least in the culture I grew up in.
I think you may be taking all of this too hard, though. Misplaced condemnation.
I enjoy using the terms, "fag", "retard", "homo", "downsie", "cunt", "bitch", "slutwhoreslimedesiree'svagina", etc.
So, to get down to brass tacks: Say whatever you want to say.
But consider: How do your posts, and their contents, reflect on you as a human being?
