    White males are constitutionally unable to understand any aspect of
    racism, sexism or discrimination.  It's true.  They can't dance,
    either.<br>
    <br>
    I still think it's a bad idea to continue this Political Correctness
    path that we're on.  <br>

              If victims of bear/cougar attacks or descendants of
              fourth- or fifth-century Roman ancestry feel disrespected
              by the University of California (Berkeley) mascot . . . or
              the Washington State University mascot . . . or the
              University of Idaho mascot . . . like us, they are free to
              exercise their first amendment right and loudly (and
              proudly) express their discomfort with those mascots.<br>
