>From agc Sat Oct 22 13:18:04 1994 From: agc To: "Sherwin_P. Hicks" <V935CF54%TEMPLEVM.BITNET@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU>, Multiple recipients of list ANTHRO-L <ANTHRO-L@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU> Subject: Re: your mail Date: Sat, 22 Oct 1994 13:18:04 -0700 Ok, I'll take your challenge: Oppression of the San by Bantus in southern Africa Oppression of the Korean minority in Japan Oppression of Hmong and other tribal "Montagnard" people by the Vietnamese Oppression of the Timorese by the Indonesians Oppression of the Tibetans by the Chinese And while we're talking about oppression, there's plenty of "White" folks being oppressed by other "White" folks, or does it require melanin to be a victim? Irish, Scots, Welsh by the English Poles, Sorbs and other Slavs by the Germans Basques by the Spanish Croats and Bosnians by Serbs (or vice versa) Bretons by the French There's more than enough oppression and victimization to go around. Open _your_ eyes: if racism is wrong, then it is _wrong_. Your argument doesn't hold water. Your statements _are_ racist: irregardless of the ability to enforce them, you certainly have the mens rea.
