Western Civilization also means nothing else but the white race to Africans, Asians and people from the Middle East.

"Western Culture" equals the white race to everyone in the world, except for maybe a few conservative whites.

No more how widespread, such an equation is itself racist. I would hope you would excuse the author from having to dignify it with a qualification.

It must be possible to make the distinction. Sorry, PC does not own a monopoly on the language.

No doubt.

I am far from the first person to call Dr. Michael Berliner a racist and he has never answered the accusation before, so I guess he has excused himself.

Sorry, PC does not own a monopoly on the language.

And neither do racists. But they both use the same language we do meaning differant things than us. But if you listen real closely you can hear the differance.
