[Sca-cooks] odd

[Ian Kusz]

The terms and programs are illogical, for they were constructed to combat
racism, which is, in and of itself, logical, and the designations adopted
were groups that were being prejudged, in an illogical way.  Since various
people describe their bigoted boundaries in various ways, the boundaries of
protection are, likewise, subjective.
