Re: bitch

Max, I do not know what group to which you belong nor do I care.

Stating facts is not an expression of prejudice.

If I say that American mulattoes consistently score lower on IQ tests than white (yesterday and today as well), or Asians, or Jews, is that prejudice? Or is it simple reportage?

I do not know from where you are writing but many in the US are sick to death of Pollyanna's prescribing the mention of unwelcome or inconvenient facts.

Live in your spun-sugar castle if you wish but I prefer to savor the air of free speech so long as the truth is its object.

This seems sufficient comment on the linguistic methods being applied by this investigator. He is not attacking any individual but entire groups of people.
