@noelle I know you mean this sarcastically, but its almost as bad, I'd put it on par. I've seen an accusation destroy entire careers and families, yet i have not seen much of a reaction at all when a persons race becomes exposed. Yes racism will be at play, but the consequences are absolutely more subtle.

Thats not a bad thing completely, it means we are taking racism seriously, so great. But lets not make that an excuse to justify it if the accusation has no evidence.
