It's been awhile now but I ...I agree with you. It's been awhile now but I watched a re-run on TV. I was offended at the racial slurs targeting Mr. Yoshida, too. Those were uncalled for and just wrong...and sorry to say, ignorant.<br /><br />I wouldn't however characterize this city as racist, though...can't really think of other examples. It seems there's always someone in the crowd who speaks, but doesn't speak for everybody.<br /><br />I think the silence may actually have more to do with folks not knowing exactly how to react...more to the proposal maybe than to the racist remarks. And I don't think necessarily that everyone who spoke out against Mr. Yoshida's proposal were in agreement with the racial slurs. I actually think it was more in response to a trust issue...the haves versus the have nots....maybe. Some people don't trust people of wealth....and they feel threatened somehow. Maybe. I don't know. Like I said...it's been awhile since I watched it.Donnanoreply@blogger.com
