But it had *nothing* to do with pride in my heritage or any such thing! I merely wanted to know if he *was* talking about Indians. This was the first mail I received in this thread [well, given that this was the second last mail I received from Brin-L, it is was the *only* mail I read on the subject until I checked the archives this morning] and I wanted to know if what I was reading was an American reaction to an issue which dominates the newspapers and magazines here. I don't pull up people for spelling mistakes or typing errors but when I am not sure of what a word means, I ask for a clarification. I regret that I didn't ask him off-list and that the manner of my asking caused him pain. But I just wanted to know.
