You were being very racist. I cite your own argument against Kirk in support of my conclusion.
Because I've repeatedly mentioned Kirksey's prior of playing a racial stereotype character in the forums, plus the context where it was said.
If you want to use MY argument, you have to establish that those conditions are at least similar.
Of course, if you want to use YOUR argument, then go ahead.

Has not my input into this issue promoted a dialogue that hitherto would not have existed? Is not discussion, debate and such a worthy exercise for people to engage in? Am I not a blessing to the world of ideas and language?

How can you know that you wouldn't be impressed with it if you haven't seen it? I found it quite interesting, as I hadn't heard the term before and didn't know anything about its history.
