I read the forum rules and found this:

"I ask you not to discuss politics and religion in this forum, but only languages".

I consider Racism a political topic.

I know you can't talk about Politics & Racism, but there's no rule mentioning about miscellaneous topics. The only
reason we can't discuss about other topics, is because we simply don't have a "General Lounge" area like most other
forum websites do. HTLAL only has sections of topics regarding Languages.

FashionPolyglot?).

Yes. My English is stronger than my native tongue.

That's only because of the basis that the Admin specifically only wanted Language conversations. I still wouldn't
consider it a rule. It's more of an "Indirect warning".

It was an interesting, albeit slightly surprising, thought and a perfectly valid analogy.

All I said about the analogy was that it was "excessively inflammatory." Since people have now spent 4 pages arguing about the analogy, this seems like a pretty obvious sort of conclusion, but opinions may obviously differ.

Your post contained personal insults directed at several individual forum members. I've deleted all the insults except those aimed at me personally (because I found those amusing). But could you please not insult people when you get angry at them?

I consider Racism a political topic.

FashionPolyglot, I left this thread open so people could talk about hating your native language. If you want to talk about that subject, please PM me and we'll try to figure out a way to let that discussion happen, perhaps in another thread. But if you want talk about the forum rules, please feel free to PM me or another moderator.

Anyway, I don't see much hope of this thread getting back on topic at this point. We can try again later if people are still interested.
