Boddhisatva, singling out Zeynep to ask this question to just because she
is a Turk is just as bigoted as pointedly asking Gary about his opinion on
pedophilia just because he is a homosexual or saying that Mexico's main
export is illegal aliens. In reality, of course, if anyone could be assumed
to have a natural knowledge of questions about drug dealing, it would be
Americans, but then a flag-waver like you would never see that. I never
thought I would recommend a sewnsitivity-training course to anyone, but you
seem to be a prime candidate. Although I still think it would be better if
you would just read a book -- any book.
