8. actually, she may have grown quite tolerant of bigotry as a young person
Edited on Thu Sep-21-06 02:38 AM by keopeli
Just a thought. I believe that most people grouped with racists are simply passively tolerant of the aberration. It is an ethic that they grew up with and have come to expect. Eventually, they grow dependent on the furor that feeds racism.

I don't know anything about this woman's background apart from what is in this article. I can believe she is being honest as easily as I can believe she is lying. The real issue, as I see it, is why Allen made his bizarre characterization of the reporter as "macaca". Everything else is a distraction. This fundamental behavior is, at the very least, odd.

Peace
