Would you have preferred if the question wasn't answered, so as to avoid a discussion on race? This isn't trolling, and it isn't off-topic. Very rarely do comments on the third level stay 100% relevant to the article being discussed. It sounds like you just don't like talking about race, and I bet it's easy to figure out why.

Thank goodness. Some of the best, most interesting and informative comments come from discussions that digress into tangents. HN would be much less interesting without these.
