I think HP (and all of us) fits into one of 3 categories (or do I fit HP and all of us into one of 3 categories?):
1. average Joe who tries to antagonize people who he considers to be his friends. IMSMO, most human males enjoy doing this form time to time.
2. hard core racist/religionist/nationalist who actually believes what he posts.
3. person who is a slave to his own past experience of group identity and labeling, who simply can't not view or consider people as individuals.
none of the above matters much. so it does not get much thought other than whether I should label him as a 1, play the game, and respond in kind, or label him as a 2 or 3 and just ignore him cause it is not worth the effort.
and, of course, the determination of him being a 1, 2, or 3, might be as much due to my own mood at the time of reading his posts as anything he posts.
privilege: the ability to spend time on silly stuff!
theirs 2 types of people.
those that see 2 types of people.... and triangulators that see 3!
