Re^3: ActiveState's "discrimination" wrt PATHEXT?

[Anonymous Monk]

Racism is an oft-misused word, used frequently to mean simply any sort of discrimination. This is exactly how you've used it. I try not to be overly sensitive to such uses, but I can certainly understand why other people react.

I can certainly understand why other people react.

People react to words like 'cultish', yet somehow such words have neither been removed from the language nor always restricted exclusively to their original meanings.

I do think the word 'racism' is overused, but it's not worth getting upset about.
