how about lazy?

i picked an african country because i asked you to provide an acceptable stereotype along the lines of irish "drunks" for blacks...

"lazy" has been a stereotypical characterization over the years...

and negative, as is referring to someone as a "drunk"...

insert the idea of "lazy" wrt blacks into clinton's supposed faux pas....instead of drunks (when speaking of the irish)

but truly "clinton" is not the issue, the statement coming from *a* political leader is... so...

if he had called the warring blacks "lazy" would a simple, one line apology take care of the matter?

<edit>

i do have to leave for now, i'll read your response later.

Neo,

You're right to keep your eye on the facts here. And I don't think I'm the only Irish American who agrees with you.

You can do better than that. The problem is, just posting it on a public forum like this would label you as a closet racist.
