wouldn't that be as follows if I did...
I'm not saying poppy is right, I AM saying I think poppy is wrong that the initial comment was racist and the interpretation of that comment by willow, BUT i can see where that view comes from.

I could have written it better though which would be a wise thing to do on here.

OK so you now admit that Poppy misinterpreted what I said

dunno why you put that, I said it was all misinterpreted/a misunderstanding form the start. TBH i didn't understand your post, so he wasn't the only one, it's just that I know you better than he does like most on here and therefore knew what you meant, just like you knew what I meant above.
But if you substitute what he thought you meant

I am one of those who has friends of different ethnic origins and I have to actually stop and think about it(that they are human beings) because first and foremost they are human beings.

It no longer makes sense at all.
