Fear, really. Whenever a demographic is mentioned, comments quickly go on about the demographic (or about how it's not relevant). See also: topics about women.



So we're preempting this expectation in an attempt to... what? Force blanket demographic views back into the discussion?

Isn't bringing this up a rather cheap way to get upvotes while (over)stating the obvious? It doesn't strike me as particularly constructive to have a post essentially saying "I know how much you guys want to, but please let's not descend into rabid discrimination again" in every thread that is remotely about non-caucasians or women?
