Definitely. I had no idea how wide-spread and specific these examples
were until I started researching the problem today. It is no longer a
theoretical, paranoid fear of mine. People have presented their racist
views under the name of Extropianism. People are referring to us as
racists. People are pointing to our archives and our site as examples
of racism to support their viewpoints of us. This is a real problem.
