"Wondering when" what?  Your dangling ends "..." must be laden with meaning...
but they are only cheap devices.  I have no issue with either you nor Robert,
so please don't try to imply politics or allegiances in my comments.

Again the cheap device.  Please say what you mean and quit the cheap danglers.

But that is precisely how I see this argument, so... (I'm so tired of this
style of response).  dissectingisecting an author's writing and assigning
motive.  I see the underlying motive force of the trope you attack to be a
universal fear-based one shared by all races, regardless of skin color. I think
I was pretty clear about that point in my post.  It directly challenges the
racism charge you are forwarding.

This fire is a damp puddle.
