....yes indeed, you are correct. meme's affect us all to varying
degrees...but in examining my statements and correlating 'feelings' i have
to seriously pause and wonder who shat in the morning milk first? a brief
history of my statement's foundations and then a few clarifying points as to
the wording of said "anti-ism":
1990:...i was 19yrs old and heading off on my first adventure. i came from
the MOST un-biased origins one could possibly imagine...a combination of
parents entirely free of such filling. mum was half aztec indian origin,
father had a thing for latin chicks apparently and is himself very much the
pinnacle of "judge every man by his actions, attitudes, and person
independent of family history etc." sounds a bit preachy and cliche, but
i've never seen any sign of a crack in this personality trait of his -
direct or subconciously. my childhood was spent around zero 'minorities' of
any sort and thus i had a very positive outlook on all those unlike
myself...perhaps even encouraged by an impression that those unlike myself
might be worldly and savvy beyond my capacity (i was quite an ignorant
little cuss in the ways of the world at that point). so i was very much
working from a blank slate and eager to have friends when i flew into tokyo.
to make a long story short, after many encounters with israelites and
arabs alike...i even recall thinking that israelis were quite 'cool' and
savvy and i eagerly sought to make friends with most i encountered due to
their apparent well-balanced attitudes and wisdom beyond their years...same
with some arabs i came in contact with (though it was more infrequent to get
to know them)...anyhow, time after time after time after time i was
betrayed, fooled, taken advantage of, stolen from, ripped off and so forth.
at some point i started expecting this sort of thing once i began to link
their fierce nationalism and religious devotion and exclusionary attitudes
to the individuals whom had betrayed me in numerous ways. once i found that
their reason and even-handedness ended when "their peoples" histories came
to issue, i found it very natural to safely assume my past experiences would
be repeated. i investigated through conversation and debate and encountered
the same. at some point, it just became mathematically unrealistic to
expect or look for the extremely rare exceptions. so at this point if
someone goes out of their way to identify themselves as one of some
ideological group, i just stay away from them. whatever their reasons are,
they dont mean much to me since i had never wronged them, or in any way
represented something against them...i merely felt the brunt of their
self-centeredness and group mentality. i like individuals and
individualism...therefore i actively avoid such self-declaring group
members. this is essentially anti-semitism. if you were to begin every
post with "well, being an arab/jew...." i would likely place such
assumptions upon you as well. as is, you havent exhibited any such traits
now long enough to assume you are very much more an individual than part of
any group. i'll cut this short in hopes that you read the whole thing now.

Dear Dr. Sebby,
Is it possible that it is merely the "memes" that have infected certain
regions in the Middle East that cause you to view semetic people so
distastefully?
And, if so, why bother using such innacurate labels which imply that
complexion and genetic predisposition are somehow responsible for this
behavior?
Finally, guess whether I am semetic or not - by looking at the history of my
posts.
Please determine for yourself as to whether I am a person who engages in
rational discourse.
(Insert picture of me waving my hands in the air and spinning around in
circles)
