I'd recommend reading up on white privilege but I'm pretty sure it'd be a wasted suggestion. > >> It's similar to if I said, this is real 'queer' of you to do ya big > >> pansy, and next you'll be calling me a homophobe. > > > Well, *yes*.

The "anything" I'm "using" is what *you* have said. I'm not trying to "slam" you, I don't even know who you are. I just have a very short fuse for rudeness and an even shorter one for racism, even if it *was* intended in a "hyuck hyuck, I'm so punny" way. Ignorant racism is still racism. > The whole conversation to me is the context And yet: > He wants people to think I'm a racist, and you now want to see that in > me as well. It seems it has propagated, and that I know exactly what > it means. Again, so much for context. There is no "he" and me, I'm the person who made the original accusation and then followed up on it. That's not propagation, so it's not propaganda. Now, someone who starts a new thread to have a conversation *with themselves* in some bizarre piece of performance art that seems intended to brand as petty the *requests that he actually follow list etiquette*...*that* is someone I'd consider a propagandist. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
