The first thing I do when somebody calls me a racist is point to my Japanese wife, my Japanese-Scandinavian kids, my Mexican-Korean daughter-in-law, and my Japanese-Mexican-Korean-Scandinavian granddaughter.
If that doesn't work, I inform the individual that, because "race" is a pseudo-scientific concept, I have rejected it, and that it is therefore a logical impossibility for me to be a racist.
Finally, if that doesn't work, I subject the individual to the Three Stooges' "Around-the-world-bop." As it did for Moe, this always works, and the issue is resolved.
>We are the melting pot of those who play by the rules.
Yep. Although we enjoy the good things from our respective heritages, and honor our ancestors and the sacrifices they made to get us to this country, we're all American;, no hyphen, no reservation, no hesitation.
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

Odie, I watched Malcontent's link this morning. Decided not to check my pressure today.
ReplyDeleteLaughing at a serious situation is going to help us see clearly to a way out of it: November.
ReplyDeleteBunni, anything to take the edge off during these trying times. But, Obama doesn't know anything is wrong.
ReplyDeleteSupi, I know what you mean, My blood pressure doubled.
ReplyDeleteSnarky, hurry up November !
ReplyDeleteThe last one is the worst. I'm so tired of being called a racist bigot. When all I want is immigrants of good character (legal).

Opie, I think 70% of Americans feel as you do.
ReplyDeleteBastiatarian, Your family sounds like a great American "Heinz Variety". We are the melting pot of those who play by the rules.
