With all due respect how would you know that Don is or isn't racist.  Lost of 
"nicest, gentlest, thoughtful guys" do and think and write bad things and 
unless one is on the receiving end of such venom it's often invisible to those 
that aren't affected by it.

Defend Don's right to use the world Jap, kike, faggot or whatever other word 
is considered offensive by the group but sneeringly dismissed as merely 
"politcally correct" by those who resent getting their britches swatted when using 
such terms.

There are lots of folks on this list (though probably more on the less 
boutiquelike camera lists) that have suffered from the world's nastiness.   And your 
point is what?  
We should all act like nasty little curs?
