Just a thought, it seems like it's the best-equipped posters who fight the hardest, and it occurred to me to wonder if that observation correlates validly with something else I've observed, which is that with regards to old social issues and political differences with e.g. Mexico, it is the most comfortable and well-educated Mexicans who resent the U.S. and its culture the most, calling it "racist" and other things -- when Mexicans themselves used to inscribe people's exact admixture of blood in excimiating degree on their baptismal certificates, fixing their places in society forever. And they did this for centuries before the United States even existed. This charge of "racism" surfaces very often, and very hypocritically. But it subserves a further agenda which is driven by a smoldering resentment at the top, not the bottom, of Mexican society, toward gringos and their society.
Suggesting that it's educated people who are the most trouble and start the most fights.
So, what's yer excuse? < broad grin >
That explains academia.
