Well, I think what Ray is doing is trying to conceptualize a kind of systemic bias in a certain historical area and how it affects our general view of history. That 11 million are omitted from the traditional account is something that we need to deal with, simply because we cannot accept ethnic or otherwise subjective concepts as categorical. I would suggest interpreting these kinds of expressions as attempts at conceptualization, perhaps the usage of counter-bias as a device, or maybe just playing devil's advocate. Insinuations of deeper biases should be checked first, and that I think goes for everybody. stevertigo <stv...@gmail.com> wrote: > I already took George to the woodshed for that remark, Raymond.
