There are some really uptight people in OOT. For the record, I call people brother, white or black, all the time. Who the [censored] wants to walk around all the time worrying about this [censored].

Dude, you don't get it. It's not about whether you're being racist, it's about not offending the person. If you're white, calling a random black person 'brother' can obviously be offensive to some black people, and I can see why. Therefore it's stupid to do it.
Nobody cares if you live in you're own ideological world where you can say whatever you want to whoever you want regaurdless of race (as it really should be), because that's just not how it really works, face it.
