[governance] Re: Racismo étnico

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

As I possibly have said before, I live in the south and disagree with 
riaz's perspective which by the way happens to be suffused with the 
uniquely north and usa based philosophy of libertarianism in its original form

There is no derogation or racism implied when I refer to riaz by a term 
that he has often used to describe himself. If I actually wanted or 
intended to be pejorative there is a wide selection of terms that I would 
have used but not 'third worldist',
