Zing! A good and entirely valid point. I nearly inserted "just" into my earlier formulation, but refrained out of fear that someone might challenge me to define it.
But yes, there's a clear distinction to be drawn between a demand to live in equality on one's own land, and a demand to racial supremacy on somebody else's.
