Yes you could. You could just as easily substitute the word "faith" for "retard" and have the political correctness police all over you. It doesn't make the original quote offensive to mentally handicapped people though.

The original quote said faith, not arab. All you are doing is reading into it what is plainly not there. Every statement could be racist if you substitute certain words, but that doesn't make the original phrase racist...

What has happened to you fr0d0? Is EvF getting to you? Stick to making interesting points rather than such idiotic ones in future.

Fr0d0, what are you 'on' and have I killed your mind or something?

Ok well that explains it. I didn't know it was the harvesting season for dope; my apologies. Good smoking to you!

Serious or not, that you can substitute the word "Arab" for "faith" doesn't mean the author meant "Arab" and not "faith" ... sometimes that logic works but not always and I really don't see how it does here. Ev was not being racist.

Kyu,

He was just saying the Bill Mayer quote was racist, not that I was. And I was just defending the quote because it doesn't mention race, it mentions faith. The quote is indeed not remotely racist.

It wasn't Evie, it was minimalist. I withdraw my comment.
