... oh my.

So, uh. If you read comments above, because I only just woke up and am kind of reading/responding in order, you will find that you are not the only one, and I have, in fact, already edited that out.

It didn't read that way to me, at all, but - yeah, cultural context, and different languages of racism, and possibly different levels of acceptability of racist sentiment. In my experience, racist diatribes against the dark-skinned (as opposed to Asians) tend to be about cutting off their social services, not killing them. I'm kind of shocked that someone has actually said that out loud in front of other people.
