[Digital BW] Re:Be Careful Who You Photograph in National Parks

2007-10-09 by djon43

Tom, you're right, I sounded racist. Bad. 

I was thinking about that spamming Floridian who, despite his obvious
ignorance, presumed superiority over a National Park Ranger. The
Ranger was obviously trying to do his job, whether perfectly or
imperfectly. 
 
"3rd-world" does imply race to some folks, not to others (or to me).
Means something different in the West and BBC (I listen to too much of
that) than to you. 

 My state is over half Indian and Hispanic, and most of the Hispanic
trace back in America several generations or more. Despite border with
Mexico we  have fewer foreign immigrants than most states. Few of us
leave, so Florida in particular should feel safe :-)

"Aryan," btw, not "arian." "you" not "u" :-)
