I'm not defending Montag813's statement, but I've seen Hanan Ashwari - not one of my favorite people, to understate the matter - referred to in exactly the same way many times around these parts and no one raised a voice in protest. Is it only racism when speaking of an American Republican?

Yes....but not really racist but rather.....just plain crude and a bit nasty.

Not even yours? Why not?

I thought that as well. It doesn't matter, those who have called someone "butt-ugly" should just kiss and make up with those who called them "racist" for saying that. I for one, think it's all silly.
