Or Corrine Brown without a fastball.

What’s it got to do with race? Italians and Arabs are both Caucasians. Get over the race-obsession.
Um, I wrote “may or may not be racist.” Out of the two of us, I don’t think I’m the one obsessed with race, my brother.
In fact, if you’d have followed the link over to balloon-juice, you’d have seen my comments re: race. To wit:
I was under the impression that Arabs are Semites, not Caucasians.
Well, can I call him a garlic-eating Dago greasewop?
Not that I have anything against the guy, but being of Sicilian extraction, it’s one of the few ethnic slurs I’m privileged to use, and I intend to get as much mileage as I can out of them.
Especially considering the rather paltry selection of racist taunts available to my other extraction – Scottish. All you’ve got there is “sheepfucker.”
Powerful, but limited in utility.
Use it with my blessings. You Nessie-humping haggis stuffer.
Henry, Arabs are racially Caucasian but linguistically Semites.
Racism is typically based on perceived, rather than genomic, racial identity. There is a consensus that the WWII internment of Japanese was racist even tho id did not include the racially equivalent Koreans. I don’t see any reason why a person can’t be called racist when race was not truly a factor in his wrongdoing.
After all, right now in Milwaukee the investigation and ultimate slap on the wrist which the Black acting Mayor received for a long list of activities some of which landed white aldermen in the penitentiary has been proclaimed to be racist.
”I don’t see any reason why a person can’t be called racist when race was not truly a factor in his wrongdoing.”
Well, you can call a person anything you’d like. Doesn’t make it true, though.
right on brother, like no other;
yo liddle joke against dat bloke;
is funny so show me the money.
