Racism, Culturalism, or Realism

FERetd post 799:

You obviously are shooting from the hip and branding all those who disagree with you a liberal lot.

There may or may not be cultural aspects in play. However we do not know yet whether it was in play in this PARTICULAR case, just as we don't know if there were mechanical, weather or other issues in play.

So to start harping on about cultural deficiencies is called generalisation which can be construed as racist commentary. Purely by definition and nothing to do with one's political persuasion. Of course you continue to classify yourself with a generalisation as well (being white, male etc.). If I carried on in your vein I'd probably mention something about the age in which you grew up as being a factor in your oratory behaviour but how would I know
