At Long Last!!!

The media is finally touching, ever so carefully, the bankruptcy of the left's propensity toward hurling the word "raaaaacism" around in situations that have nothing to do with race.

What is racism? Confusion reigns
""What river separates China from India?" someone asked at a recent social event in Metro Vancouver. Answer: "The Fraser River."
No one laughed. It's not that kind of a joke. It's more a lesson in demographics. The Fraser River forms a clear boundary between north Surrey - with its concentrated enclave of South Asians - and Richmond, where the enclave is Chinese.

However, perhaps the real reason people did not chuckle was, as someone said, "That sounds racist."

The remark reminded me of the difficulty people have understanding the word "racist."

A lot of people, particularly liberals (Emphasis added), do not seem to know the key Oxford Dictionary definition of racist, which is: "A person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.""
