That was totally uncalled for. Dave was describing a sterotype about a
group OF WHICH HE IS A MEMBER, you are comparing him to racists who blame
all the worlds problems on a group of OUTSIDERS. This is completely
different. I think you need to apologise.

Lots of folks like you also believe that there are REASONS why people have
the opinions they do about Jews, Mexicans, Muslims, people with black skins
or blond hair, etc. etc...
Precious irony... ;-)
Dave, please don't color "most of us" as "clueless". This sort
of
self-flagellation feeds a tired stereotype that serves no one. -- Ian
...except that, in the general public outside of academia, it's damn
accurate. I'm sorry if I offended you, in any case. There is a REASON
that many people in other countries have the opinions they do about us.
