Actually in that context, I see exactly what you're trying to say.. I guess it's why this PC business is bullsh*t if we can't even admit the implications of what it is to come from a place. I can't imagine what it must be like to come from the islamic/muslim heritage, but I know what's inferred by what you're saying.

I think these types of conversations are difficult to have in a textual environment as this. I think what we're debating is something that's held in an inflection, a tone, histories beyond ourselves, a setting that's far too large for us to discuss, even here.

I think the majority of us are saying and feeling the same thing, though it may not come across in this written environment.
