Evo,

"Are you somehow comparing my attempt at some humor to "throwing rocks at...Asian Families"?

I simply think you're simply showing the same level of insensitivity by making light of a subject that has affected me personally and hurt a great deal many people.

"The truth is, it doesn't matter to me if you are the target of ethnic/racial slurs in your daily life. You aren't special for that reason."

Never said I was special because of it, but it does give my position context.

"Everyone on earth is somebodys else's target. That is the truth, and its a part of human nature."

That certainly doesn't mean one should sit around and tolerate being a target.BR>
Get used to it, and learn to laugh at yourself."

I can get used to a lot of things. Racism and indifference to it and how it makes others feel isn't on the list.
