Interesting.

Why haven't you expunged the word "gook" from your vocabulary?

I *knew* you were going to say that.

Why didn't you?

Maybe he sees it as more of a political statement than racial (like I
do) and as you have demonstrated here, almost every day, that you can
say the most offensive and hateful things you want about anyone you
disagree with politically.

I don’t use derogatory terms to insult people over those areas of their
being in which they had no choice, such as their race, their ethnicity,
their gender, their country of origin, et cetera.

If you are an uninformed, science-denying, ignorant, superstitious,
religious fundamentalist, racist conservative, you are that way because
of choices you have made, not because you were born that way.

"Gook" is a derogatory term ignorant people have used for generations to
describe Asians, not the politics of Asians.

I may have just done it to pull your string and that certainly worked.

I know your sympathies always rested with the Viet cong, not the GIs
and tweaking that was rewarding..

I doubt that you used that word to pull my string, but nice attempt at
recovery.

If you think my "sympathies" were with the Viet Cong, you are far less
bright than I thought. I certainly understand their point of view,
though...they were ****ed over by the French, then the Japanese, then
the French again, and then the Americans and the American allies, who
backed the dictator Diem, who reneged on a deal struck earlier to
reunite Vietnam. Once Diem was gotten rid of, a string of
American-backed thugs took over ruling South Vietnam until all of that
collapsed.

We certainly learned our lessons there and put them to use in Iran and
Iraq, eh?
