I wish that we could leave all of this behind, and I thought that at least on the IDM list there wouldn't be arguments like this popping. I live in the motherfucking Bible Belt. I go to a college where the Greek societies and several other organizations segregate themselves on purpose, even against university policy. I'm in a writing course where when somebody uses the word "black" we have to go into an intense analysis of the author's motives. I slip on this argument on the sidewalk, I smell this argument coming ten miles away, and I make this argument when I see others being ignorant. If you want to continue this, we can take it offlist.
