Can these rubbish threads be terminated?

It appears that none of the previous posters in these threads have read 
the text in the mailing list To address;
"Ubuntu user technical support, not for general discussions".

Also, the nature of the postings, involves racial vilification, which 
is illegal in some countries, and could thus lead to this mailing list 
being banned in the countries where racial vilification is illegal.

If Ubuntu and its mailing list(s) become banned for racial vilification, 
it is not good for Ubuntu, or for Linux.

So, as I see it, these people, and the List Administrator, have a 
simple choice - end the racist rubbish, or, face the possibility of 
Ubuntu and its mailing lists being banned in various countries, for 
racial vilification.

If racial vilification is the purpose of Ubuntu, then Ubuntu has a 
serious problem.

If racial vilification is not the purpose of Ubuntu, then the racist 
threads (and, probably, some or all of the posters in those threads), 
should be terminated.
