[NCUC-DISCUSS] UPDATE about the North American EC Slot

Thu Jun 4 06:40:37 CEST 2020

Vaibhav, As you can see I am not white.  I can assure you that in English
the word 'nonsense' is not a racial slur. Anyone can talk nonsense.
It is not associated with any racial or ethnic group. I agree it is not a
polite word but it is not racist. We are working from
different mother-tongue and different cultures so sometimes communication
suffers as a result. You may feel you are being bullied and you have a
right to your feelings but as an observer I cannot agree with you. I have
been a member of this group for many years. We may not always agree but we
can disagree politely. Please do not assume that the entire group has no
trust in the leadership and process. We will learn from this experience and
do better.  Sincerely wishing you the best.
