Money is not an irrelevant issue, but race should be. If someone posts something potentially racist or objectionable, I think the rest of us would be irresponsible to simply "let it slide." I don't necessarily mean that I think Julie is wrong in her observation about the individual's race. But what I do mean is: what the hell does race have to do with anything at all in this discussion and why on earth would she bring it up? (Because I guarantee that I earn less than the bidder in question, and I am not an African-American.)
