Wow...you've proven the pp's point. Rather than take offense and *get defensive* why not embrace the idea, if it applies to you?

Turning this into a "well, why don't you do it too" thing is juvenile, creates hostility and gets us nowhere. [/quote]

I am sorry but let me dissect your post for a moment.

What is your race?  Please take the sentence I said I took offense to from the other pp and insert your race.  You do not see how it would make someone upset?  How is that comment appropriate?  How is me stating that no race needs to be called out for being closed minded juvenile or creates hostility.

It seems like you are the hot headed one.

Please ANYONE on DCUM. Take the sentence "I wish __________ people were more open minded", insert your race and see how uncomfortable that makes you feel.  And if you are fine with it please let me know.[/quote]

I am not the PP above you, but in response to your last sentence:

"I am white, and I wish other white people were more open-minded."[/quote]

This is obviously not what the PP asked. S/he asked how comfortable each of us would feel about unqualified statements such as:

I wish white people were more open minded
I wish black people were more open minded
I wish overweight people were more open minded
I wish underweight people were more open minded
I wish American people were more open minded
I wish foreign people were more open minded

...you get the idea
