Sorry Nomad, re-reading, I see it's partially my fault. I meant to write something like and a non-White to boot, reading various gravely negative claims about the man, to boot seeing him accused in a reverse-racist context?, but the stuff between the two "to boot"'s lost.

Re: Geez (none / 0)

I hope this is all clear now. Reverse racism is kind of a tricky concept.

I see it in the same way you seem to: Perceived discrimination on behalf of coloured people by white people / racism implied in coloured people by white people. Often for questionable reasons, but also potentially correct.

OK (4.00 / 2)

Unfortunately, when I came back, there was just your first reply. So I took a break from all of this and had an evening of jazz and wine, including the best Chardonnay I've had the pleasure to drink so far.

Off to sleep.

Another time I'll deal with my thoughts on (reverse) racism, because there's plenty for everyone where I live.
