As a point of reference, racist is formally defined as follows:
Racist - a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others.
In the on-line dictionary from which that definition was derived, the word "white" was omitted before the word "person," no doubt the product of biased editing by a red-necked scalawag from the Old South still immersed in denial.
Keeping the formal definition above in mind, compare it to the applications used by politically correct progressives, ever watchful for wedge issues with which to divide the American people.
According to progressives, you are a racist if you:
*Are on record as believing that American culture, including contributions made by angry white Christian men, has produced the greatest and most successful society in human history;
*Get goose bumps and shivers up and down your spine when Old Glory is feted or when the Star Spangled Banner is performed;
*Believe that America is a sovereign nation and, as such, perfectly justified in securing our borders against invasion by illegal aliens and other criminals;
*Believe that the rule of law is a basic tenet of American democracy, and, as such, inviolable;
*Support enforcement of the Immigration Reform Control Act of 1986;
*Are proud of the English language, and support making English the official language of commerce, law, education, and culture in America;
*Oppose affirmative action, bilingualism and other reverse discrimination outrages;
*Watch FOX News for more than three hours in any given calendar quarter;
*Believe that the federal government should prevent illegal aliens from taking over American streets to demand rights and benefits reserved for U.S. citizens;
*Believe that Uncle Sam has an obligation to round up and deport illegal aliens, particularly during time of war;
*Believe that legislation is urgently needed to prevent illegal aliens from using "anchor babies" to circumvent U.S. law;
*Adamantly oppose amnesty, defined as anything short of deportation;
*Regard "Sanctuary Cities" as serious violations of federal law that should cause city officials to be arrested and prosecutedl
*Believe that in-state tuition breaks, driver's licenses, and other progressive hand outs serve only to attract even more illegal aliens and should be unlawful;
*Oppose the use of taxpayer funds to print ballots, government information, and educational materials in languages other than English;
*Own two or more American flags and participate in tawdry displays of excessive Americanism on Flag Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, and other patriotic holidays;
* Have knowingly registered or, perish the thought, voted Republican within the past 50 years;
*Failed to vote for Barack Obama;
*Are Caucasian, or look suspiciously like a Caucasian.
Please note that this checklist does not apply to African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, or Native Americans because people from those racial and ethnic backgrounds are genetically incapable of being racists!
