    I doubt that anyone anywhere is completely free of racist views, and I certainly don't claim to be.

    However, based on this data I linked elsewhere, I am apparently less racist than Americans on average, because limiting "total" immigration is not a big deal to me.

      One can advocate limited immigration without having an ounce of racism; there are other arguments to be made for such limits than "don't like skin color."

        Cool! Were you attempting to speak in Spanish or were you mostly speaking English?

        It's my own personal opinion that at Pentecost, this is what was happening - everybody heard in their own language.
        I agree that seems to be what was happening...

          I gave up trying to translate, and was just speaking English - including theological words for which I would not have known a Spanish word.

          It's not hard to see it that way, unless you're just trying to make a case for "speaking in tongues".
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            Well KG, I think that proves I was right when I said your methodology is going to get everyone voting "no". Even Trump would vote "no" on your poll!

              Yep just as I said. You’re a racist and if you disagree, it just proves you’re a racist. What is more amusing is how he has claimed you can trust what people tell them about themselves unless they disagree with Starlight, than they can’t be trusted apparently. Another day, another Starlight contradiction.

                I've stated what I think the outcome of your poll will be. I expect the evidence to fit that claim. I view your methodology as poor, however, given what you are trying to determine.
                News Flash here, Starlight. You do not have the ability to read minds. All you are doing here is showing what an close minded bigot you are. Do you really want to prove to everyone here that you are an arrogant Jackass who is not really interested in an open exchange of ideas? or are you going to be open minded enough to admit that people can have a differnet view then you do on how to handle things without any ulterior motives? Your choice Starlight closeminded jackass or open-minded intellectual human being. The rest of us will continue our open exchange of ideas and ignore you if you choose the former.

                  which proves he is not the open minded intellectual he pretends to be.
