Charles, I understand your seriousness. I think I understand what's at stake here for you, though I haven't had your experiences, so I don't presume. But how is this rather reactionary response of yours justified? What is the specific content of Frances' post that leads you to say to her: "people like you can't steal my joint heritage thereby. . . . or your comment is kinda arrogant, racist even?"
I found nothing arrogant or racist in Frances' post. I seriously doubt she is out to steal your heritage. And I read no unintended racism or arrogance in her words.
(Pardon me Frances, for butting in here, but some of these recent posts, which I'm just catching up on, make me, well, a little pissed.)
