Dude, hailing from South Africa with a Dutch name, I'd be careful with the word racist. That of course being based on the fact that in South Africa the term never had relevance and thus meaning. Hence I understand that you probably have as much understanding of the term "racism", as we have of "a welcome Jew". Or, for that matter, a "a Dutchman that is pleasant to listen to". Burn! ;)
Sidenote: Its funny that everybody calls the Dutch "Dutch" (when speaking English), which pretty much is the word "deutsch", which, guess what, means "German" (cf. Pennsylvania Dutch). That has always baffled me --- do Dutch people refer to themselves as "Dutch" when speaking dutch? The term for "Dutch" is "Nederlands" or "Hollands", isn't it? /W -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
