I shouldn't have called Mexicans "spics"

I apologize if I offended anybody. It's just that foreigners terrify me
because I was beaten up by a foreigner in 6th grade. I don't trust them.
Unless they're from Africa.

It's great that you've chosen to apologize -- thank you for having the
decency to do this.

You still have a long way to go though because your attitude of distrust
is still racist.

It's not racist. It's xenophobic. I admit that I'm scared of most
foreigners (except for Africans, I had a friend from Senegal and he was the
most respectful person I've ever met.)

Your fear is irrational, and your inability to trust any people except
Africans is, in fact, a form of racism. Since your motive for this
racism is driven by a fear founded in an experience of non-racist
violence, your resulting behaviour could be classified as merely being
"indirectly racist."

My recommendation to you is to work with a qualified and professional
psychiatrist regarding your problem with trusting others. I suggest you
print this message and present it as the description of your problem as
a useful starting point (public newsgroups really aren't the best forum
for developing a reasonable solution to your specific problem). If you
genuinely don't want to be a racist, then working with a good
psychiatrist is a rational approach that should prove to be very helpful.

Then you should follow up on those emails from the Nigerian widow who
needs to move 10 million dollars.

May I recommend Tim Dorsey's _A Pinapple Grenade_, which has a great exchange of
emails between one of these and Our Hero? 'Tis a scream.
