I was joking about wikipdia. There's been a bit of a commotion over here as our education minister recommended it for school kids

The crying Indian really was Sicilian (not Italian, my mistake. Wikipedia for irony)

And I really have been to a Pow Wow in Montana back in 1999.
Everything else was probably joking.
Oh, I really never heard about the Columbus thing.

Though you might want to think about what you said about knowing what a Puerto Rican looks like. That's danergous ground, dude. Very.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone, that really was not my intention. I didn't realise the ability to tell the difference between ethnicities (whether real or imagined) was racism. Scicily is an island of the coast of Italy, so it seems to me that saying a Sicilian is an Italian is like saying an Irishman is an Englishman and I was trying to be accurate.
I think the parade comment was stolen from Chris Rock, ironically commenting on how American Indians have suffered from racism more than anyone else in America (that is NOT to say that others haven't suffered, just that they have been driven to near extinction and many of their communities still suffer from poverty and hardship today). I was attempting to bring that observation here in 'borrowing' his humour. Apparently I failed in that. Whether that was my fault as a poor communicator, or others for misinterpreting my remarks I'll leave to you as individuals to consider.
Again, I apologise if anyone was offended by my remarks. Especially if you also happen to be Peurto Rican, American Indian, Scicilian, Italian or Indian. Given the sensitivity of people on this board, I will endevour to keep my comments strictly about super heroes and their adventures, though not their ethnicity. Nor any other sociological label.
Sorry.
anyway, england doesn't have a decent freeway in the entire country. the M4 is like the width of the boulevard my house is on. and they're nightmares to drive on.
