Edited on Mon Nov-05-07 02:19 PM by yardwork
is usually an indicator of bigotry. We see it here on DU. The posts follow this general pattern:

"I wouldn't mind (insert name of group being criticized) if they would just be quiet about their (insert stereotyped description of said minority group's attribute) and stop complaining about (insert examples of how the minority group in question was oppressed), which happened (choose one: 500 years ago, 100 years ago, before WWII, back in the 1950s, yesterday)."
