Is there a Quora topic that relates to race the way No Dumb Questions relates to sexual orientation?

At one time, President Obama wanted to start a national dialog about race. That appears to have never gotten off the ground. One reason may be that non-minorities are hesitant to ask questions, for fear of causing offense, or being labeled racist.

tynamite's avatar No question is considered to be a dumb question on Quora. I know this for a fact. That's why you can ask questions on race that belong in the Questions That Make Assumptons.

However, what people can't do in society is talk about other races in a negative fashion, no matter how correct they are. People consider that to be a taboo issue, and will call that racist. You should listen to the 30 minute speech that British Prime Minister, David Cameron made where he said that multicultralism had failed. There was a huge outcry among Muslims and he was called racist, when he wasn't racist in the slightest. He was actually correct.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
