You will hit a nerve if you finish a comment by saying 'anyone with two brain cells can see that'.
It also doesn't help if you roll out the racist remarks.
By saying 'seems I hit a nerve' you almost make it sound like an accident!
Just make your point and leave it at that.
How the f**k was that racist? Do people even know what racist means anymore?
MY GOD
Are you really saying that you don't understand how this comment is racist:

I would suggest that it's you that isn't sure what racism means.
Not even remotely racist. Unless you consider americans to be a race, which they are not. So no, it's you misunderstanding and misusing the term.
Yes of course Americans are a race, why not?
Anyway whether you agree with me on that is not the point, if you attack someone because of the country they come from then it's stereotyping and prejudice which is the same insult by a different name.
All three things are not accepted on this forum so you can call it whatever you like, it isn't tolerated.

That means that your comment makes even less sense then.

I'm a straight talker and consider it a failure of plitical correctness if you can't call a spade a spade and tell someone they are talking rubbish
Of course you can tell someone they're talking rubbish, you know you can, but you can't get personal and you know that as well.
You've been here long enough to know that.
Make your point without resorting to insults. That's all.
