Of course it was. Dave is just trying to backpeddle enough to
get off the hook from being a racist asshole.

Frankly, since your "stupid race" comment was in defense of your rather
offensive racist language, I didn't bother to put too much effort into
understanding it. I'm sure Horvath and a few of the other bottom feeders
appreciate your thoughts.

It doesn't really matter, claiming that any race is stupid its racist.
Unless, of course, you're claiming that all races are equally stupid,
except
that you said "THE stupid race." Or, I suppose its not so bad to claim
your
own
race is stupid - that makes you a "self-hater" or a comedian.
I didn't really expect Jonathan to follow what I said the first time,
but I
expected you would, Jeff, particularly after I explained it in terms
Jonathan should have been able to understand.
The exact quote was:
"I will admit that I generally detest the stupid race (though I'll
occasionally make exceptions)."
The phrase "the stupid race" clearly was intended to denote that set of
people who, regardless of skin color or other characteristics, share a
single common trait--stupidity. Example: "We frequently put people in
arbitrary categories based on some perceived similarities: the black
race,
the white race, the oriental race the stupid race, etc." Step back for a
moment from your preconceptions, prejudices and predilections and see if
that doesn't make sense in context.
