Come on Richard, enough is enough. No one is talking about racism here. You are taking this way too far. You have too much time on your hands. Can we just move on, please.

I remember it suddenly got harder talking to a very friendly CPU vendor after they bought a graphics chip vendor, because one guy started running around with a halo, telling that people should not buy from that very graphics chip vendor, in a half-reflected way, similar to those my ancestor countrymen suggested not to buy from certain groups of people.
As far as I know, I am the only person who protested a graphics chip vendor, so this must be intended to refer to me. Which means it is inaccurate. Omitting my name doesn't make that ok.
Whether or not you agree with my approach, calling it "half-reflected" is sheer name-calling based on ignorance.
To equate boycotting a company with racism is worse than ignorance. It is absurd.
