This is nonsense. There are black racists, there are self-hating homoseuxals, and there are some anti-Semitic ultra-Orthodox Jews. These are indisputable facts. Don't be a self-righteous intellectual snob who enjoys rewriting the dictionary in order to show the world how bright you are. Police have documented attacks and beatings on homosexuals by men who have later turned out to have latent homosexual tendencies. If you deny this, you might as well rewrite history as well as the dictionary. Similarly, in Israel and America virtulent hatespeech is published against all Jews on the planet, by certain ultra-Orthodox sects. (The propagators of the hatred, of course, somehow find a way not to target themselves). Please stop denying the existence of such things. The task is to describe them, and not to write them out of existence. RK
