Jason,

Of which "certain race" would you be referring? The reason that I ask is that I do sense a little but if "doublespeak" in your post.

So let's be clear here. Call a spade a spade (no pun intended, that expression originated from Plutarch in 178 BC). Thinly veiled racist commentary, to me, is the same as out and out racism.

While you are thinking about your answer to my question, you might want to review this site's rules and regulations, the ones to which you agreed to abide when you registered. You can find them at World War II Zone Forums Rules and Regulations.

This site will not be a place for people's petty prejudices, or for political accusations either from the left or from the right. There are plenty of political forums around, and perhaps some others as well where you might feel at home making such comments. But be assured, they will not be tolerated here at this site. This is a history site, no more, and no less.
