The only thing worse than being a racist, is denying that one is a racist.

Being a racist, defined by you as occasionally using a racially-originating term without malicious intent, is the absolute worse thing a person can do, except of course for denying that one is a racist.

Really?

My Dad, occasionally using such a term without ill intent, was "worse than" a child molester, a mass murderer or a rapist? Do you really care to stick to your guns that being "a racist," especially by the very mild definition you insist on, is the very worst thing a person can be?

If so, perhaps you'd care to explain this remarkable assertion?

The person who said to me that they would "not Jew me down" did not say this with ill intent either. I'm not saying that your father was a racist. But he could have used better terminology to articulate what he wanted to say.

We need to watch our words. They can cut deeper than a knife.
