A poorly conceived analogy showing what is a racial slur and what isn't, referring to the then-ongoing debate of if phillistine was or was not a racial slur. If you didn't understand the point I was trying to make then I'm sorry. But I'm fairly certain you did and are just trying to drag out my humiliation. I've already admitted it was a mistake, what more do you want?

All I'm trying to do is understand why you think the term philistine is racist. If you said that was a mistake, I missed it, and I apologize.

I didn't, I was trying to explain why it isn't racist. I was saying phillistine is just a race, like african american, and that it was not like the "n-word". I was saying that spelling out the word was a mistake. Warbler is correct, it was others (don't recall if it was Crow or not) who thought it was racist, and I was saying it wasn't. Or trying to anyway. Clarity in words isn't my strongest quality.
