I don't like racist/intolerant speech, period. Or do I need to really go back and pull up my comments about Mel Gibson, Michael Richards, and Tim Hardaway (each of whom singled out different minorities)?
I already have problems with your reaction to my bringing up these stories. I really do. You've already admitted that you have no personal history of being discriminated against (for which you should be glad), but then you don't try to put yourself in the shoes of those who have. When I recently had a very personal and blatant racist attack, you said the person who did it "might have" gone over the top with his comments. Your reaction to the topic of racism really, really disturbs me.
