Default Tim Hanke's Cultural Prejudice

..
Whatever his personal failings, such as his racism, StanB is a proudly
flag-waving white American. Accordingly, StanB seems to be considered
"one of our own" by his fellow American political activists here



Read that again, *very carefully.*

Mr. Bourbaki is, for some reason or other, assumming that Stan Booz is
"white" (see above), and that he is "considered one of our own" by his "fellow"
political activists here.

Which is to say, assumming we follow this racist "logic," that *all* the
political activists here are, for no reason whatever, presumed by Nick to be
"white." I'd say this sort of behavior demonstrates an underlying racist
attitude, not to mention considerable ignorance.


"It is better to remain silent, and be thought a fool, than to speak, and
remove all doubt."




BTW, not everyone here has identical political views, and certainly not every
American political activist here agrees with Stan Booz' "my country, right or
wrong" mindset.
Obviously, Stan Booz -- whatever the shade of his skin happens to be at the
moment -- is far from "beyond reproach" by self-styled "outsiders." The
trouble is, hard evidence of a thing like racism is difficult to come by.
And besides, these petty disputes are not really about principles or virtues,
they are about *pride*.
