Yeah, I can tell you're drunk by your slurred typing. But, anyway, I was trying to be judgmental, I just wondered what compelled you to comment in that way so frequently, and I haven't read anything else by you, so your poem and that comment were my only frames of reference. I did consider writing "I hope you're Korean" but I didn't want to set you up to be even more defensive if you weren't Korean. But, who cares, you don't have to resolve it peacefully ... I don't know you, I really just was curious because I've known several different regions of racists (Southern, Midwestern, Northeastern US and my German grandmother), and kind of wondered if you were part of that or if it was something else. I totally got that your other poem was about stereotypes, but when you ended it with wiggers, chiggers, niggers, etc. you added judgment to your observations, instead of just letting the stereotypes be stereotypes.
I know you thought I was lecturing you, but I didn't mean to, I just wanted you to be aware of how you were coming across. I know we all have hang-ups-
I know I am sexist and racist and allow myself to reap the benefits of white privilege, so how could I judge you?
