I must live in the same small world. In my small world, it is not racist to refer to a single person as anything in my world, if it is an accurate description of that person. One can only be racist if one thinks it applies to all members of a race simply because of their genetic makeup. With Joe, I think that 'greasy con artist' is an apt observation, although I would have use slimy as my adjective of choice. Further, you are assuming that Bill is not the same race as Joe, and to the best of my knowledge, I do not know (or care) anything about BW's genetic makeup.

To me your post is like judging all others by your frame of mind, if I'm thinking this then so are they. No two people see the same on any subject. To me tho Bill was nice, he could've said a hell of a lot more

Since when is "greasy" a racist inference?

I have heard the term being used derogatively by US troops during WWII. Refering to Italians.

If one wanted to come up with a racist term for a Korean American, there would be MANY MANY better ones.

How about this. TMex is a greasy, slimy, sleazy, self-important, self-righteous fraud. I could come up with worse, but not on a public forum...
