Are you really expecting an answer to this question? As if there is a watermark when someone becomes a racist?
I come here just like you, pan, I speak frankly and I state my observations. In this case, observations that were not made over the course of a thread, but over the course of many threads perused over the last 2+ years. Now, I am a brainwashed tool of the media which is, I think, quite a bit more out of left field than my own observation about you. That being that I got the impression from your posting here that you have reactionary issues with race and culture that could colloquially be referred to as racist. And, like dc, I suggested that perhaps you might reflect on why it is that people are seeing you in that way. But I see you've been too busy stoking the fires of righteous indignation to bother with that sort of trivial business.
You can call me whatever you like, pan, and I will accept what is true, dismiss what is patently false, and dwell on the things that give me pause. I'm not about to start a thread decrying my labelling as a brainwashed media tool because that one I can dismiss. Perhaps you should do the same.
