What's interesting to me here, is that as everyone knows, and certainly you more than most, given our correspondence, I am close minded, sympathetic to facism, and racism, and a classist elitist greedy oppressor of the poor and minorities and really anyone disenfranchised in our society or the world. You on the other hand are progressive and open minded and rightously against everything I am so immorally for. And yet, despite these differences, when I relay a story, where I used a word that has some common connotation, yet otoh, has gained some offensiveness in our modern day society, and I note that I no longer use the word, even if my use is not intended to offend (i.e. I put perceptions of the unintended passerby over my intentions), you respond essentially that anyone elses perceptions or sensibilities are meaningless to you, as long as your use is not directed to offend them.
And I am the asshole.

No. It's rarely any of those things. But at least I don't get a hard-on posting ridiculous shit using a sock and hoping everyone will think it's real. Or worse yet, post 100 million times with the goal to simply annoy or win a k.

For the most part what you call ridiculous shit is true. Whether you believe it or not.
As for the K races, they are what they are and always have been.
