- Actually, the 'we' refered to the people in the current discussion, not
- Native Americans. If you missed that then you are dense.
-
- I referred to his view as "minority" because his first post was so
- seriously at odds with the consensus established on the issue. But
- you thought I referred to his race instead. I hear a knee jerking.
-
- Throwing a racial comment like that (and it is, no matter whay you
- may think) into a discussion like this is foolish and rude.
-
- The sense in which it is a racist joke is incredibly ironic, given
- your expressed outrage on behalf of your friend. The laugh is at the
- expense of a white man.
-
- If you don't like his attitude then address that in email.
-
- Take your own advice. I will make public answer to defamatory
- remarks.
-
- Off the subject, you may want to check your posting software. I
- received the above referenced article with a bogus (truncated)
- References: line, reproduced below with word wrap added (in the
- original there was none). I don't know if this sort of error causes
- fascist transport software to drop articles, but there's the
- possibility. Obviously there was no problem between your site and
- mine.
