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.

Most prominently though during the Vietnam years by those trying to stay
alive in the jungles. I could understand it then, under those
circumstances but it's justification for use has long ended.

I wasn't aware that Greg's tour of duty with the US Coast Guard included
time spent trying to stay alive in the jungles of SE Asia.
