... wrote: Rush Limbaugh sounds like a wonderful person? Ewww, you can't mean that, Tak! Heehehe, right on cue. Who can tell? A good friend of mine who always wears long hair and a peace sign around his neck would tell you that I am an arrogant capitalist Nazi nip. Another good friend of mine, a staunch Republican and white supremacist, would tell you that I am some sort of pinko. Sounds like you and I would have a wonderful time having political talks. I tend to confuse the hell out of people who (being rather shallow) think everyone fits neatly into little pre-defined slots. |

Funny, I don't recall you saying anything about Joyce's accusing me of racism because I'm a Republican [which is why I was out of this group I don't think Joyce did what you're saying she did.

yodeled: (snip) Regarding the white supremacist, I've actually lost touch with him - I'll have to try and look him up! We used to have lunch often, and yes, we discussed race relations a lot, but no, it was never even slightly strained or uncivil. I mean, that's how he defined himself - he was Republican and a white supremacist. You can't avoid it because he can hardly make a sentence without including those two very important facts. Still, he was very bright and well read, so could support his views very well. You can't support those views well. You can only fool yourself and others that you are supporting them very well. I remember the first time we met, I introduced myself to him, and he looked me up and down and said, "Even though you are not white, your race's economic goals are similar to ours." Of course, I realized right away that his thinking was very different from mine, so I picked his brain every day over lunch after that. I'm always eager to learn a new point-of-view. He told me that the Japanese have a good model for a conservative single-race country, and that it would be a good idea for the United States to adopt policies along those lines. Holy crap, you *ARE* tolerant. I would have said to him, "But my race is very violent," and smacked him upside the head with anything available.

yodeled: Victor Martinez had some very interesting things to say about Tee hee...My Honey and Joe Kitty: I would have turned around and never looked back. I refuse to socialize with people who think their "race" is superior to others. I have zero tolerance for bigotry of any kind. Funny, I don't recall you saying anything about Joyce's accusing me of racism because I'm a Republican [which is why I was out of this group for several months. I do NOT enjoy being the victim of politically correct bigotry in a supposed group of friends, especially when it's considered socially acceptable to indulge in such knee-jerk stereotyping]. I hope it's OK for me to butt in here, but I read the exchange, and the guy in Takayuki's post WAS a pretty blatant racist, and admitted it, proudly. He was a white supremacist. It was probably this that Victor was responding to, not necessarily the Republican part. GO back and read Takayuki's account of an exchange with this guy, and his characterization of Japanese people, if you really want to read some knee-jerk stereotyping.
