Not all Americans are racists. Just the stupid ones are. This is not true. Tim May is not stupid. He is insensitive and bigoted, violent and dangerous. He is certainly a racist, and believes in the superiority of the white race. But he is not stupid.

Interestingly, I don't even believe there is such a thing as "the white race." The 19th century classification of homo sapiens into Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid, the putative "three races," is without merit. Based on certain external characteristics, there are at least a dozen "races." And the concept is largely meaningless. Italians are as "far" from Swedes as, say, Thais are from Han Chinese. The point being.... The point being I don't care what race a person is officially classed as (and yet I had to racially classify job applicants when I was at Intel, courtesy of the EEOC rules on quotas).

Not all Americans are racists. Just the stupid ones are. Jesus! Is *everyone* working for the fucking CDT spin-doctors, now? "I take back my remark where I insinuated that Japs are slant-eyed gooks who smell bad, so I'm not *really* a racist... "And by this time tomorrow, I will *never* have said it at all." I wouldn't be so quick to call all racists stupid...remember, we can't be sure that was really Hitler's body they found, and people who set out to conquer the world don't usually take kindly to being called stupid. Is it National Paint With A Wide Brush Day? Did I miss the announcement? If all racists are stupid, are all liberals queer? Are we still working that old, tired game? Is it my imagination, or is the rapid decline of the quality of posts to the list in the last few days a direct result of the ignorant and emotional posts by those complaining about the decline in the quality of the posts to the list?

I also agree that Tim is non-stupid racist.

I'm wouldn't call the recent posts ignorant, but I agree that the I don't have much more to say about all of this so I'll shut up until someone attacks me. - Joi P.S.
