What happened to the "which race is more ticklish" poll that was here?
 
It was deleted because it was a stupid, implicitly racist poll, dredged up from before I was moderating this forum. If I had been moderating back then, I would have deleted it much sooner.

OK, I imagine I'm going to take a LOT of flak for this, but oh well.... I do not think that the topic of 'which race is more ticklish' is necessarily stupid or particularly racist. This is of course an opinion, but I believe I can support it... although I do no expect to change the mind of anyone who is already entrenched in an oppsing view for whatever reason. Here goes: it is a medical and scientific fact that different races have different physical characteristics. Apart from the obvious differences (different skin tones, different hair textures/fiber shapes, different eye shapes and colour distributions, different facial bone structures, etc. etc.), different races (and even different ethnic groups within a single broad racial caregory) have differing resistances and vulnerabilities to certain illness or medical conditions. For example, people of African ancestry are more prone to sickle-cell anemia. People of Scandinavian blood seem to be less vulnerable to some kinds of hepatitis. Tay-Sachs Disease is prevalent amongst Jews. Native Americans appear, statistically, to be more vulnerable to alchoholism (which is a disease, not a character flaw, so nobody jump down my throat on that point please). Hell, I recently saw a report on a study by anaesthesiologists that suggests that people with red hair (not even a race, just a melanin vatiation) require %20 more gas, imlying that redheads have a lower pain threshold... These are just some examples that spring to mind right away: research would yield many more..... So, given that different races have different physical characterisitcs (not mental ones, or spiritual ones, or moral ones) is it such a stretch of the imagination to think that perhaps some races might be more ticklish? Psychological issues aside, ticklishness is primarily a physical response. Certainly, I think it is at least a question that deserves to be thought about and discussed by interested tickle-philes, not just shot down out of hand.
 
Please read carefully

The topic was not shot down. The poll was removed.

The poll gave people three choices to vote for: black, white, and Japanese. That's the implicit racism and also the stupidity I mentioned above. It was dredged up from well over a year ago and the person who started it has not posted here since June of last year - at least, not under that ID.

If someone wants to start another poll on this topic, that option is available. If you want to discuss this topic without a poll, please post in Tickling Discussion.
 
I think that it is a person's choice which races they prefer to tickle. A person is allowed (by human freedom) to be racist in regards to their sex lives. While racism is not a good thing, that is innevitable. But to make distinctions like this may be a little foolish.
