If it is perceived by anyone is racist, then it is racist. At least that is the reasoning you've used in the past on several occasions involving race and also involving our discussion of "lady". Or is it that only what you perceive as racist really is so.

The only cross burnings I've ever seen in my life have been on fictional TV and I can't say that I've even seen that more than a handful of times. I've never even heard of one in any community I've lived in (and I live in the south for over 20 years). Sure they happened in the past and probably still do happen on occassion....and should actually never happen. But, unless the official we're talking about participated in one, I don't see how that is relevant to the discussion.
