It's amazing where offensive racial epitaths sneak in. That horrible "binch" poem, supposedly by a children's author, is making the rounds of the internet, including Renderoisty. "Bin" or "ben" is "son of" and is so common in Arabic names that it's the equivelant of the "ski" in my Polish name, or the "Mac" in an Irish one. We Poles will usually tolerate someone calling us "Ski", but watch what happens if you call an Irishman an "Mic". Now picture one school kid calling an Arabic classmate "binch" or a "bin", like its a derogatory thing. "Teach your children well..." Ciao! Joseph S. Wisniewski
