Short answer : No.

I don't think that this clarification was needed, i think that this is what any reasonnable person would understand from what i wrote, but in at least now we can put the false controversy to rest.

I agree, at least I had no problems with understanding it ^^

Also, by "mildly racist", in this context, i refer to the well known fact that people living in small rural communities, with little to no contact with other type of culture/ethnicity/etc, are more likely to have some kind of predjudice toward anything outside of their own community.

That's not racism. Also, the mild racists' priest is a part of their community, therefore they would have no fear of them in their small rural community. A fail to see why you would almost burst out laughing at the sight.

the same way that i think people voting for Trump are more likely to be mildly racists than say people voting for Bernie Sanders.

Official List of the Republican Presidential Candidates: Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum, Donald Trump, Rick Perry, Scott Walker, Bobby Jindal, Lindsey Graham, and George Pataki

Hmmmmmmmmmm let's see - 1 African American, 1 Female, 2 Latinos, 1 Indian-American


Official List of the Democratic Presidential Candidates: Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley, Jim Webb, Lincoln Chafee, Lawrence Lessig

Hmmmmmmmmm let's see - 1 Female

Yes clearly the Democratic Party is chock full of minority representation and not dominated by old white men!! Oh please. The fact that an Indian American with HINDU parents can run on a Republican ticket and win the governorship of LOUISIANA twice shows the Republican Party is not even mildly racist. Please get over yourselves and stop using the Party of Racists narrative. Its offensive to minorities who actually belong to the Republican party. Thank you.

hahaha i'm glad to see that my pointing out that people like to read what they want to read rather than what is actually written has had such a great impact :)

As if i was expecting otherwise....

*you're ;-D

Grammar Nazism - the sign that someone knows there wrong and are desperate too take any victory, however pathetic.

It is a bit worrisome and sadening though, that so many people here, some of them adults i assume, are reading what they want to read rather than what is in the text; reorganizing, dismissing and adding words as they please, with contempt to the original text.

You might say they brought their own prejudices to their reading of the text. ;-)

I think it is actually worse than that, since in some instances, like what Jai is painfully doing here, they change the text to give it a different meaning altogether. I'm perfectly fine with being critized, but for fuck sake don't embarrass yourselves by criticizing an imaginary text.

Well, Jai is a romanticist. He just makes an assumption and goes with it, no matter what... well, used to do that with my parents. They almost threw me out the house several times, lol.

I think you guys would have a heart attack if you knew my profession in real life lol.

Hahaha! Bizarro world going on here. The GOP is all racially and sexually diverse and the Dems are all a bunch of old white men.

Jai, who's the current president of the US, and what party does he represent?

(Fuck man, you just can't invent this craziness.)

WCT look at the leadership of the Democratic Party in Congress if you're not satisfied with my earlier example - Harry Reid (old and white), Patrick Leahy (old and white), Dick Durbin (old and white), Chuck Schumer (old and white), Steny Hoyer (old and white). The democratic party may have had the first White-Black president in US history but it sure as hell is the not the panacea of minority representation as the Canadian media would love to make you think.

Why do you *care* so much about his skin colour? You must be a racist! ;-P

He doesn't care about his skin color, he cares about his ethnicity. Just sayin.

What 'ethnicity' is 'white'? Or 'black' for that matter? And why does he care about this supposed 'ethnicity'?
