but my point was that ampersand's post appeared to soften the idea of the accusation of racism, as if being told that one has made a racist utterance is of little more consequence than being told that one has farted in a closed room. which is not, i think, how the term is usually received, or meant.
for the record, i am all for people losing their shit. a good rant is often far more instructive and vital than an essay.
