Fred Bauder, I like black people but ... Options

[tarantino]

In response to the question "Why American Wikimedian community is exclusively white?" on the mailing list, Fred says:

The short answer: Wikipedia editors are volunteers and African-Americans
rarely volunteer.

The medium answer: African-American editors often edit only articles
which relate to African-American and do that in a point of view way.

The long answer: large blocks of African-American are oppressed,
unemployed, poorly educated, and computer illiterate. Those that are
educated and prosperous tend to be too busy, and as said, are not in the
habit of volunteering.

"Wow. Maybe you can follow Phoebe's example and cite some evidence?"

A reaction like this is expected to any honest straightforward
observation that is not politically correct. I lived in the Five Points
neighborhood of Denver for yeara. I like Black people, but there are
issues.

I hope someone mentions the lack of non-white penises on Wikimedia Commons.

(bit of a side comment - but if you're around, Carbuncle, could I have permission to publish this image on commons, I'd like to start work on a satirical wiki-rag a la onion / private eye, to complement the signpost - p'raps it'd be a good fit? Either ways, if it's ok with you, I'll upload it over there so I could use it.......)

You are of course welcome to use it for any purpose which you see fit.
