This is mine, and I was attacked, by numerous people, but yet it was an "if" question. So, do people not realize that you are supposed to attack the belief or argument instead of the person? I mean, attacking the me just makes me cross out your answer as credible.

Well, you just hit a nerve that's all. They are also a little wary of "if" questions. They are human and you will only heed the answers you like anyway. Right?

Some of the questions are not legitimate questions. They are opinions.
If the question has some intelligence to it, the answers hopefully will be intelligent. Of coerce, there are always the morons out there.
Thankfully , how smart they are usually comes through on their answers.If they are opinionated they usually show it in their bad English and bad gramme and bad spelling. Their answers are usually discounted for what they are.
I don't answer a question to win the 10 points, I answer it with my true feelings weather the questionnaire likes the answer or not!

Because you smell and you have no friends!
No I'm kidding! This is a very common practice in arguments. If you ever watch a political debate, you will see that instead of finding the weaknesses in a persons argument and pointing out why it's flawed, they will just attack the person's character, thereby deeming their argument as worthless.
It's an example of what they call a fallacious argument, I forget the specific name for this one, but there are many. Take a critical thinking course in philosophy and you'll learn all about it.

I'm not sure why people attack a person who asks a question. Maybe they're insecure. Maybe they're angry. I think a fundamental negative human trait is the need to make ourselves feel superior by denigrating others. This is the reason why racism, sexism, war and slavery have been major aspects of civilization for so long. I'm not saying it's right, but it's not surprising.

First your the one who said it, you asked a question that you obviously new would cause a controversy and negative remarks, So if you were not prepared to take it, don't ask the question. If a person throws something at you do you get made at his arm, or the person that threw it.
And yes if you say you don't like Asians because they are Asians your a racist, its no different from saying you hate all whites, blacks, Hispanics. Your judging the person on there race on not on the person themselves and that make one a racist.

Hey there are all kinds of people on this site. Chances are if you ask a question with the word "racist" in it, then you're going to draw some heat. Don't take it personally, you're just getting people to think, and that's not all bad.

u must have offended some people with the question. I'v not had this problem, so I suspect, it's important to word your questions/answers with some sensitivity, at least
