Gosh, Rainier, what a devastating point-by-point rebuttal you've provided.

In fact, your response was so devastating that it made me realise how disrespectful and dishonourable it was for me to point out that if Mr. Hagan and others were consistent in their peculiar logic, they would be deploring the historical "xenophobia" and "racism" of the Aboriginals who opposed European settlement, and celebrating how the European settlers joined and "enriched" the indigenous monoculture.

Oh, and since you're indubitably a paragon of respect and honour, perhaps you'd also like to show your students some of your racist, anti-white rantings on this forum. I certainly found them most revealing.

mmm..at this juncture I usually think of all the diversity that i can point you toward, such as the hundreds of different languages, clan groups, customs and traditions that do not support the Indigenous mono-culturalism your accusations rely on. Clearly you have no room for new knowledge - preferring to depend on the simplistic myths that you grew up believing – and which are now foundational and supportive of your own bigotry. How sad!

And why on earth do you believe the highly educated Hagans and Calmas of this world should listen to your instructions? Puleeeze! Get a grip; this is just an online forum for gawd sake!

Now run along maaate, do some reading in your local library on racism, history and politics.

PS. My student's all thank you for illustrating how racism (as sociological and cultural phenomena) is often misunderstood and thus psychologically disturbing and confronting for its most enthusiastic practitioners.

Oh forgot to correct your accusation on me: In other posts I have attempted to point out that white people who are uncomfortable about race and who try to pretend that race does not exist are not simply failing to understand the dynamics of race; rather, they are in fact repressing-evading-their own feelings about race and the fact that they benefit from race in a racialized society.

Yes, we are looking at people just like you and wondering what makes you tick.

scary hey!
