Immigration status is not a "race". I think some use the term "race" to quickly try to dismiss a point worthy of discussion rather than engaging in a meaningful exchange. There are many other labels used in a similar fashion, and I admit that I have done it to others saying something like "...is just a Bush hater..." It does get frustrating but when we get beyond those simplistic labels, occasionally there is some meaningful exchanges.

I have read a lot of what you have written Pan, and we disagree on most issues, but I don't perceive you to be a racist at all.
