Reminds me of a time in high school when I refused to stand for the black national anthem. Guy approaches me afterward and calls me a racist. Of course, when you get called this, there is no defense - racism means just about whatever the name-caller wants it to mean (their definition being The One, True Definition). At that time I wasn't aware of how the game was played. I foolishly wasted breath denying the claim, to be met by the brilliant retort, "Oh, yea! I bet some of your best friends are black!" (As if this card somehow trumped evidence, logic, or even good sense.)
