I wasn't trying to goad you into making racist statements or anything (but you did it anyway).

I have never said anything approaching racist. If you're referring to the wetback comment, wetback's (illegal Latin Americans) are not a race. Latin American's of almost entirely of European or Indigenous descent, as well as the Mestizos, can all be wetbacks. It's a status one can opt to have, not one a person is born with, and it crosses Latin America's ethnic divisions.

I don't believe punks have the right to stomp on hippies no matter how scummy they are.

Well, it's not a right limited to punks, but - to be brief - I don't agree with most of (classical) Liberal thought. In this instance this is manifested by my not believing hippies have "human rights".

So another serious question is: Why do you stomp on hippies?
|
Because I strongly dislike hippie culture and view it as a pernicious problem. Hippie culture destroys that which is beautiful and fosters much that is bad. As hippies are the carriers of this cultural problem, the response seems appropriate.
