“Racist” is one of those ugly words we use on people we don’t like. It’s almost like the popular “U R So Gay.” “Racist” can mean anything from a mild preference or dislike to strong feelings of hate and desire for physical harm based on race. Many of your comments in the past, and those of some of your English buddies have bordered on, if not blatantly asserted, the latter. It was with this background, not just the recent babble here, that I called him a racist. Of course, it’s possible you guys are just playing with words here on poemranker, having no intention of revealing your real feelings toward other races, in which case my “racist” attack is also a play with words.
