Interesting that only two of your three examples are ethnic slurs, or
slurs at all. I urge you to examine closely your choice of examples; it's
very revealing.

(Do you *really* think that Bush would refer to the Japanese as
"Japs"? And that, if he did, it wouldn't be a fairly major incident?)

Also, the first two slurs are held to apply to many people who are
"Yanks" and "Brits". So, you're factually off base as well.

Actually, the analysis was pretty trivial. It takes much more difficult
problems for me to burn cells. I'm sorry that that's not true for you.

Again, clearly untrue. But obviously, you intended to say, 'Nobody should
care'.

You're wrong, but that's no surprise.
