Hate the overuse of the race card as much as anyone but come on, Tony.
The act of posting the rumor isn't what Check was referring to, it was the content of the rumor. i.e. The members, rumored to be minorities, are receiving special treatment in that they aren't being pursued for fear of offending the PC police. That entire rumor hinges on race.
I don't care one way or the other but I think you know that Check isn't referring to the simple posting of a rumor.
