Oh jeez, here we go with this old gag... Alright, fellas, here it is: Racism is the belief that any one race/ethnicity is somehow intrinsically superior or inferior to another. Any other ideas or actions derived from this beief are racist. HOWEVER, simply pointing out the differences between two races is NOT racism by any means. Cyborg is an African American. This is nothing more than a factual observation. This statement in no way implies that he is superior or inferior because of it. You yourself said "we all know and can see who cyborg/fleshy guy is". So you DO notice that he is African American. By your own logic, doesn't that make you racist? And doesn't calling you racist for this reason sound utterly stupid (because it should)? Let's not kid ourselves, the people of this world are DIFFERENT but EQUAL. Observing and pointing out DIFFERENCES is only human. Embracing INEQUALITY on the basis of these differences is racist. Conclusion: Saying that "he is African American" or "she is Asian" or "he is Caucasian" suggests differences, it does NOT suggest inequality.

Sorry for the rant, but this topic (and political correctness in general) reeeeally gets on my nerves.
