Discrimination, as expressed through names and words like that, is only
an
expression of the hateful feeling if the person DOES hate x minority (or
majority). If they don't, and actually share that identity, usually they
are
joking.

You are giving those words too much power. Ignore it for long enough, and
nobody will use it in that way. Sure, whatever word you're talking about
(it was lost in the spam*) will probably stick around, but it would have
to generalize to stay in use.

Hey, shouldn't there be 25 messages in each Yahoo digest? Why are there
26 in #1565?
