If you don't like personal, blog-style reporting, you might want to skip this item. A few days ago, during a speech at Software Freedom Day in Boston, Richard Stallman has, at least in my book, crossed a line that I thought he would never cross.

1. I don't make claims, I make sentence.
2. That particular article is innacurate as
you can see from an english link to an english
Quebec governement official website.
3. I never said wikipedia was inacurate entirely.
4. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ethnic

Ethnicity is not race.
Words have meaning, if you just want to say discriminatory, I would understand where you are coming from. By stating it is racism, though, you are saying that the French speaking Canadians are racially different than the English speaking which is flat out wrong.

Well seeing you've claimed the inaccuracy of wikipedia and then used them to support another claim, I'm going to have to do that as well.
