One of the talking points (for a quickie conversation) is, "When the 
bombers of the Federal Building in Oklahoma turned out to be white 
guys, you didn't think it was a good idea to bomb all their families, 
friends, neighbors, ex-class mates, all who had the same reactionary 
thoughts as theirs, all who had the misfortune of having ever lived 
in the same country as theirs, all who had the same complexion, 
religion, etc. as theirs...did you?"
