Why do we call the US America?

I can understand that it was a joke meant in good fun, but to an outside observer it was callous and uncalled for. I'm not telling you, any of you, not to joke but perhaps cautioning you to think twice about where it is posted. Because no, I don't know you, or UofM, but I'm reading this thread, too, and I'm going to respond where I see posts worth calling out.

Please forgive me, however I don't see where one could have even assumed what you did (from what was written).

I'm quite aware that others read this thread.

I must be honest and let you know that your response to what you assumed was a racist statement was offensive to me.

When in doubt, investigate and ask questions before attacking. It's a good rule of thumb, not only in the forums but for life in general.

As you've stated you don't know me and I do not know you.

However, I tend to be respectful when adressing others or topics that I may find offensive. It's the way I believe life should be lived, but everyone has their own way of thought...

Again, you still have no idea what the original sentence was about, and I have no intention of clarifying any further. Suffice it to say, it was not even based in the direction you took it.

I too will make this my last response in regard to said subject.

Enjoy your day, Selenay.

Respectfully,

Enchantress
