Huh, funny that the 2nd article has a totally different story and picture (and this one looks pretty bad to me) than the one you posted a picture from, at least the one I am seeing... and the article says "As a result of the complaints, the Mounajed and Cervero on Sunday applied some white paint to the dummy's head - but at that point the furor had grown." So clearly, the original hanging man was not made to look white, if they had to paint it...

You know, I'd love to apply this in several areas of my life, and probably even in the case of this Halloween decoration thing, if I knew more about it.

But not when it comes to the use of language to classify an entire group of people as being "this way." I'd answer to anyone else going apeshit on me, too, if I was writing like that... in fact, I'd hope they would. As an educated person/academic especially (I'm glad to see Watson has retired for the same reason, as roachboy pointed out in another thread), but also as an educator, hell, a human being... no, it's unacceptable to me. And I don't need to be "serene" about that one.
