So reality checking you didn't work; I'll tell it to you straight: log off for a week.

Your conflation is flatly wrong. Language and race are not some linked quantity. There is no gene preventing a white man from speaking Swahili, or a Black woman from speaking German, Dutch, Russian, and Gaelic.

Were I to allow that erroneous conflation to slide, I'd be committing a type of liberalism as we (unfortunately, as of right now) share a community. Your not even considering self-crit when it's made as clear as I possibly Can make it that you've got the wrong end of the hook here is another. Log out, touch grass, do better; otherwise don't darken my inbox again. I know what 'verbally looking for a fight' looks like; and you're doing it right now. Chill the fuck out and log off.
