Subject: RE: BS: Israel condemned by UN
"You are as aware as I am that 'racism' is used to refer to generalised attacks on nationalities, cultures, ethnic groups.... and is a disgusting use of semantics to attempt to disguise that fact." .,,. I am 'aware' of no such thing: nationality is nationality, culture is culture, & race ['ethnicity' if you prefer] is race.
But talking of semantics, 'disgusting use of', it has been ever a recognised ploy & technique of the Loony Left of which you are such an ornament, to use words in their own specialist sense ['imperialist', 'bourgeois'...], expecting the rest of us to adopt and respect the same emotive overtones as you lot do. The scattergun, kneejerk use of 'racist' is simply the latest example of this technique. Odd that, when I once, a couple of years back, OP'd a thread on this very subject ~~ RE: BS: 'Racism' a catch-all accusation? Feb 2011 -- you, yourself, Jim Carroll, should have posted agreeing with, & deploring, the proposition. But, then intellectual [as distinct from doctrinaire political] consistency has ne'er been one of your characteristics SFAICS.
