I did not mean to imply racism, as a matter of fact, I pictured a hillbilly
speaking. The racist implication didn't really come into mind until it was
brought up by others on the list. I'm truly sorry if I offended anyody.

Well I'm sure that I *do* know why I find stuff like this offensive. It is
racist. "Shouryunus Sarcasticii", maybe you didn't mean anything by it, but

think, how would you like it if I sarcastically wrote something in
exaggerated fake-Japanese dialect that made Japanese American people sound
ignorant? Maybe you are from some part of the country where there aren't
too
many black people, so just a suggestion, please don't talk like that when
you
travel to Washington, D.C. The city is something like 75% black and dialect

jokes won't go over too well. Both Lacy and "Shouryunus", blackface comedy
died about fifty years ago (thank God), so maybe it's time to get a new act.
