But do you consider an infant, not liking a foreign food and showing his/her displeasure, for example, by saying yuck is a racist act? as I said your just making a circus out of it, the article itself doesn't even make it out to be that; again I'll just quote the article itself; ogre is of course right, we divide ourselves into competing groups based on simple things because we are simply unable to comprehend and relate to the complexity and variety of every person on the planet. once our conflicts may have centered on resources, in the developed countries they now centre on simply social status. this is a simply limit of our biology. teachers are already asked to be mindful of the behaviours that indicate abuse, hyper-activity, dyslexia and aggression problems etc. so your all too damn late then, its already a 'nanny' state. oh and edit: yes never ever apologist for a bit of a rant, expressing ones opinions and hearing others is part of the fun in life I think

Well here I am with my unpalatable views again - but if someone feels like cheering during the two minute silence, why should they face disciplinary action? These people have a totally different view of 9/11 than most of us, but just because it is different, does that make it wrong? By way of contrast, how many people cheered when Sadam Hussein was deposed? How many, when he was executed? My view, albeit unpopular, is that we each have our own perspective, and our own reasons for adopting that perspective. Personally, I'd fight for the rights of people everywhere to say what they think. I don't think that most of us white pampered milksops have the slightest clue what other races go through on a daily basis.
