im going to jump on the "im offended" bandwagon and say, although I have no idea by who or where this was originally posted, I read it as satire, therefore im extremely offended that the political correct amongst us have blown it up and made a mountain out of a mole hill, as usual.
GET A GRIP FFS
Ifi had created that list I would have defiantly added
"no politically correct cry babies"
and had it at the top of the list above gts riders

As I said, it was in fun but interesting to see the different conclusions drawn from the post.

Good points Armand and Eden. Is it not why this scene exists because we don't want to conform, rats, punks, street racers!? It was a clever person who wrote the original post, as Armand pointed out, it was irony, twisting the old bigoted attitudes from past cultures. We put 2 fingers up to to the PC world by joining and embracing our rebelious scene, let's keep I that way. Get a grip PC boys! Go to go, in church in five!

Irony it may well be but on here it was posted out of context leaving it open to misinterpretation by those who're willing to be offended on behalf of others ...
