Re: Why use the word racist.
well , i suspect he was using the term to hammer home the end result of the experience,
but anyway
how can this person call it racist when it knows nothing about people or colour?
refusing to accept the person in front of you is actually a person because they are a different colour sounds pretty racist to me.
Like our white conquistador ancestors exploring new lands saying things like.
"Oh look old chap , that fuzzy wuzzy looks just like us , except he's clearly not white coloured , and therefore inferior, so its ok to bundle him in a sack and sell him as a slave"
