Oh, I know you’re not wrong. I just wanted to make sure that you know that I know.

I mean, I guess you could have explained why you thought OP was wrong, but you did eventually anyway. But they were way out of line, though, and—my main takeaway—you weren’t wrong. I read the linked article about how interracial marriage won’t save us from racial inequality (which, yeah, true), and a lot of the…

Rugby union is the closest sporting equivalent to a demolition derby.
