Let's see, "racist" is one of the most virulent accusations that can be bandied about today in social discourse, and you quickly labelled me one because you didn't like my post- which was straight out of the LA Times, as I recall. Since I didn't call you anything similar, it's not surprising that you wouldn't be angry. Why should you be? You're the one who is making the accusation, not me. "Racist", of course, is one of those wonderful accusations that has no fixed definition. It serves mostly as a bludgeon for those making the charge, and it's useful in stifling any debate the accuser dislikes. I think you at least owe me a definition. Such as, are latinos that celebrate "La Raza" racist? And why should everyone have your particular position on "diversity"? Is this mandatory now? Is it a thought crime to not give a hoot about diversity? Do you ever wonder why people resent the PC police? I thought the Left hated having "your morality forced down our throats"? Maybe you don't think you come across as part of the PC gestapo, but you're sure acting the part.
