Richard: You missed the point of his post. To a fellow such as he, anyone one that attacks a communist (a Mr. Zang) or a fascist (a Kennedy) is a racist etc, etc etc. And btw, Since you yourself have not disclosed your race, his comment says a lot about his views and biases. Robert

OFF TOPIC Richard: <<Not a single of my words was based on race. There is no prejustice or bias based on his ethnic make-up>> I'm sorry but that is not the impression I got and to which I was responding. My post was not directed solely to you. What I said was: "It's a pity that a thread for discussing the price of gold has been dragged down today by a pile of nationalistic and racist garbage from you and a couple of others". These are some of the comments which gave me that impression: - "that doesn't take into account all the proprietary goods the chinese steal and disseminate" -- Casaubon — No. 37469 - "Listen up you stupid communist sympathizer: Those people are guilty of spying! I have no problem with the idea of putting spies to DEATH! Your calling me a beast or worse only shows your true RED color!" -- Richard Harmon — No. 37536 - "And if in fact so many chinese have so much intellectual capital than why is China so ass backward?" -- Exsrch — No. 37541 - "Are you one of those numerous Chinese spy's on US territory? FBI will have hard time to infiltrate end destroy these bustards. In Canada we have them on each city corner peddling junk." -- Bob Tate — No. 37545 - "You are willing to come here to go to school, and say China is so great. Why are you here? If the communist system and those slimy good for nothings were so great in the fields of science and math why did they need take the technology? The only possible reason why anyone would take the result of the work of others is if the could not do it themselves, are to stupid to do it themselves, or simply LAZY!" -- Richard Harmon — No. 37605 As you say, your preoccupation is mainly with communists and spies rather than their racial background. But taken together, the posts above leave a nasty taste in the mouth, singling out the Chinese people for an assortment of evils, resorting to industrial espionage because they are too stupid to invent things themselves. If that's not racism, then I don't know what is. I don't intend to post again on this topic. Hopefully this will also serve as a response to your private email to me. Howy
