elie: common usage isnt necessarily correct usage. The word MEANS discrimination based on RACE. The technicality is important, and people should be aware.

Can you read?

Again:

2 a : a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock b : a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics

It seems to me that a shared faith is ecompassed by "a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics" -- but you just cannot ever see anything that is obvious can ya.

So yeah, I think I can say with a clear conscious someone calling me an "inbred, hillbilly, redneck, idiot who married my cousin" just because I am from kentucky-right up there with a "ching chong" comment. And I'm not meaning that snarky at all.

But I wasn't comparing the prejudices against Kentuckians (or where someone is from) to locking someone up, or concentration camps etc.

and I get how some people take offense to the comment because of things that happened in their life. Ha. I guess everyone I grew up with was Kentuckian, so they couldn't make fun of me for that!!

But even now it doesn't bother me. Even I joke about it sometimes.

But I'm pretty hard to offend

I'm hard to offend too. I didn't think there was anything wrong with what you said. I just wanted to make a point that people who've been persecuted because of their race are more sensitive to "jokes" and with good reason. And you do NOT fit the Kentuckian stereotype you hottie with a great smile.

So Mary's a prejudiced bigot, not a racist. Got it.

irishgrl · #**216** 12-20-2006, 11:35 AM

of COURSE I can read. I read the part where the FIRST definition said pertaining to RACE. the part you highlighted was an attempt to explain further, and does not in fact negate that you can have a RELIGION represented by many different RACES. As I said.

Apple? Orange. Apple? Orange. There is no "race" called "Muslim" there is, however a "religion" or a belief system called "Muslim" "Jew" means anyone who believes in the Jewish FAITH. That can be a Hebrew, a German, a Spaniard, an American. You can have an Arab Christian! You can have a Chinese Christian! and on and on.

I LOVE watching her crawfish on it as well.

"Crawfish" is a Cajun term that means when attacked, you back into your mudhole like a crawfish and defend yourself by any means no matter how incorrect, absurd, illogical, irrational, etc.

except I didnt do that. nice try tho. I dont mind you calling me a bigot or prejudiced when I say I hate fundies (of all religions) or terrorists. Big deal.

but I will insist on accuracy with respect to terminology, because it IS important
