I'm always amazed by jj's continuous need to downplay racial prejudice
against non-white, while harping about the same against whites. I like
to point out the insidious nature of his last line above. Peter has been
making the point that, in addition to any other prejudices that jj says
he also suffers from when applying for a bank loan or going to a job 
interview, Asians (Orientals :-)) must also deal with the extra element 
of racial prejudice. Mr. anti-racism, however, feels that this element 
is "1 part in a 1 million". Whow, with one stroke, jj has reduced 
racial prejudice in the U.S. to statistical insignificance. "1 part in 
a 1 million", that must fall below the importance of eye color or 
left-handedness.  Get it? If you ever suspect you got the short end of 
the stick because of racial prejudice, it's all in your head. So why 
are the Blacks whining about having problems getting bank loans ? 
 It can't be because they're Black, that's "1 in a million" factor. 
And when I showed up to look at an apartment in New Canaan, Connecticut 
two summers ago, and the guy said, " Ooops, we just rented it", but 
then he told my wife on the phone 5 minutes later that it's available, 
it must be because he didn't like the color of my car.

I've lost all respect for jj's hypocrisy and pontification. Just to
show the net another face of this fellow, here is an exchange HE 
initiated on e-mail in response to one of my replies. I couldn't
get his permission to post it, so , sue me, dude...
