According to how people react to those kind of questions, yes... I agree with Peachey. You could have the best intention and everything but everyone has a different way of feel regarding delicate subjects and BUM !!! ... this is where I agree with Eliot... fireworks would become inevitable and probably it would be a not nice discussion... not because of your question but because of the answers and comments. Be really careful and good luck ^^

There would be fireworks. But I think you already knew that. Officers don't delete questions unless you get thumbed down a lot, or people actually complain. They're very impartial here.

Hmmm could be a minefield. If you're asking an honest question and explaining yourself clearly, it might be treated as a serious discussion/question. If we're lucky. If the answers degenerate into members attacking or making fun of other cultures (or even if your question is misread as an attack), it'll probably be deleted quicksmart. Maybe ask the question privately to someone you trust first? They might advise you if the question is OK to ask publicly or not.

Racial discrimination still happens in some parts of the world, but as others have told you, tread warily before you ask the question here. You can always ask that question in one of Italki's political groups.
