Show me a non-authoritarian procedure for eliminating the desire of
human beings to inflict emotional harms with words that leaves our
comedic powers intact, if not substantially enlarged and I'll sign up!
:-) Ethnicity, like race are social constructs that we've deeply
habituated to. That is the greater tragedy that must be overcome. But
that just goes back to my first sentence.
