Firstly, the word "mud" is not in question.

Secondly, the term "mudpeople" is used by white supremists to describe any person not of aryan blood.

Thirdly, we are not talking about a "fringe" group, we are talking about the KKK, the Aryan Brotherhood, etc. These are not fringe groups, they are in-your-face groups and are comprised of thousands, if not a couple million, people. And they extend beyond the boundaries of my little corner of the planet. Each one of these groups is using religion as the basis for their hatred.

So, why not just accept the fact that it does exist and in large number, instead of trying to trivialize it by using phrases like "No doubt if it really catches on in the States" and "some racist fringe in one corner of the planet."

Because it hasn't touched you, personally, does not mean it doesn't exist.
