Hey DMB - chill out!!! It was precisely BECAUSE I laughed out loud at your
joke, wasn't at all offended by it etc, that it was a good point of
comparison, to bring out the underlying issue (of context). I didn't think
it was racist at all. So if the cap doesn't fit, don't wear it.
dmb replies:
You thought it was funny and not at all racist? Oh. Well, I don't know where
I got the impression that you had some question, some doubt about that. I
must be crazy to have detected such a nasty implication. Maybe it was
because you asked Mark, "Is this also racist? Where do we draw the
boundaries? Is it just a question of taking offence - in other words, if I
had taken offence at DMB, would that in itself have made the remarks racist?
I guess your questions are what made me think you had questions. Silly me.
What was it you were saying about the connection between honesty and
clarity? Hmmm.
Chillin' out in misty Denver,
dmb
