You must be one of those poor oppressed middle class white males from America. It's so rough that people call your racist comments racist. How dare they.

Do dark skinned folk also get annoyed with you treating them as a homogenous group, by any chance?

What an embarrassment that this comment got voted up.

What an embarrassment this whole subthread is. Starting with the bizarre suggestion that jews have some sort of special moral responsibility to intervene in any major human rights catastrophe, because the holocaust = a huge human rights catastrophe?

These kind of train wrecks are inevitable when people post stuff like this to HN. Dogma vs Dogma.

Oh please. All I did was say something that is true, but politically incorrect. Just because it offended your sensibilities doesn't mean it's false.

Congratulations, you just won the moocowduckquack memorial sickbag for Bigot of the Week.

Have you considered a career as a professional writer of letters to the Daily Mail?

I think it needs a few Why, oh why's and an In my day, to really make the grade.

Not everyone has to be completely precise and politically correct to have a conversation, just most of these kinds. Know your audience. :)
