First: Hispanic people and black people are not interchangeable sets. Neither of those groups are interchangeable with Arabs or Muslims, which are also not mutually inclusive. We are talking about skin color -- and even at that only an average skin color -- something which is, to state the obvious (something one must do with you), skin deep.

Second: To name people as racists who remember intense humiliation and injustice based on the color of their skin because they recognize that a huge barrier has been breached, when they are merely celebrating what they recognize, marks a mind so small it could be annihilated by a course of antibiotics.

To be racist, one would need to mark Inauguration Day as the day that dark-skinned people proved their superiority to light-skinned people. I heard nothing like that in all the interviews and coverage. I heard people grateful that they finally feel fully invested and recognized by the society in which they live.

On the other hand, white racists have marked Inauguration Day as a day that they fear dark-skinned people have proved their superiority to light-skinned people, perhaps because after all the institutionalized injustice, and all the violence and deprivation, someone from that group is Chief Executive. Maybe Obama will confirm your fears by being a just leader who treats you as an equal, thus proving himself superior to your expectations of a man with dark skin.

I'd stay away from strong antibiotics if I were you.
