This time, they've decided to get up with times and switch to Firefox, Thunderbird, and subversion instead of using the Mozilla suite and cvs from the previous distros.

Re:Racial discrimination

Racism in its literal sense is nothing more or less than the belief that certain determinations about a person can be made knowing no more than their race.

I do not think it is automatically a racist act to call one individual black person the N-word, particularly if the epithet is qualified in some way {you're just a fat lazy n***er}. It's just a word. It's not saying anything about any other black people, and anybody who thinks it is is too thin-skinned IMHO.

You hear all these lousy rap records complaining that white people don't buy records by black artists, therefore they must be racist; but what the recording artists fail to appreciate is that the decision not to buy the record might have been made on grounds other than the colour of the principal performer's skin ..... grounds such as whether or not the record is any good?

I think it's not so much that CmdrTaco doesn't like gay n***ers. It's more likely that he is rejecting on principle all posts from the GNAA {an organisation which probably contains more asexual, white non-americans than any other group} on the basis that even though they claim to represent gay n***ers, they are also pains in the arse.
