Replying to a comment on:

The shirt I wore to dinner. (Free verse) by Jeremi B. Handrinos

I made my shirt For dinner tonight Well, not made, But it is white Plain, and v necked. Pure and cheap I am going to wear It to a meeting at This restaurant. Another stupid raw Fish joint. I'm going to wear It over a stinky Thermal long sleeved Top that I have had on For days now. With a pair of 501 blues and vans. On the front of the Shirt I wrote "What are you looking at motherfucker?" On the back reads "If you are reading this. You are a sorry Fucking idiot" On the right sleeve. "Space for rent" on the left sleeve, "Fuck Ozzyâs stupid Fat retarded pompous ugly Boring fucking daughter, And show, but I love Black Sabbath". Twenty bucks says No one will forget Dinner tonight, or Be able to swallow Their chewingâs, And I believe that It is about fucking time. And free food More flowers for Algeron.

It is the nature of a slight that the slighte be the object of the slighters scorn and as such it is hard to reconcile your claim that you are merely telling us of the slightes geographical location. The author may indeed be an yank (which, for the purpose of this comment, i will use in the manner defined by you), but i fail to see what your discription (of him) gains from the addition of this information since it is directed at the author who, one would presume, already knows his nationality. I cannot therefore but presume that you add it insidiously.
Let us say that you are a dutchman. If you were to come across a fellow dutchman who, in your opinion, was dumb, would you call him a speechless Hollander? No you would not! To do so would sound ridiculous. I suggest that you would pick another noun, one which you felt best described this mute dutchman, maybe blighter, or perhaps that other b word that denotes "one who is addicted to the unnatural vice". In your comment, Tarquin, you replaced such a noun with "Yank"
Let us say your dutch friend (whats his name by the way?) is of indonesian extraction, you may want to call him a "dumb blackamoor", would this be less or more racist than your description of Jerimi. Is it simply discriptive? or is the discriptor infact a device to insinuate a more sinister meaning?
I would suggest that, by drawing attention to it, you are showing distain for your dutchmans moorishness (if i had suspected that you kept going back for more, that you were "one that is addicted to the unnatural vice" I would have left well alone) otherwise you would not have commented upon it. Your disdain of yankyness and moorishness is insidious and rassssssist
Either that or your just don't grasp the purpose of an insult
You six foot tall, 11 stone, blond haired, blue eyed, sock wearing, perfectly normal looking poemranker.

First you're rasssist to Jerimi and his smooth buttocks and now your having a go at Andries.
Don't hate Andries cause he's black

......opinion is fact? Oh by my sacred gonads
