The definition I found didn't mention religion or race........the definition you found makes it a stonger and more negative word....

You are wrong to say that I painted the picture in your mind, interpretation is everything, and putting whatever spin helps your side of a debate on every word the other person says has a pronounced effect on the picture in your mind...I think being competitive in these debates makes it almost necessary to think of the other person as the "bad guy", I probably have even done it myself <wink>.
