I thought you made up the rule that the word “racist” was an insult. As to “being a jerk,” I was born this way. You can get me on that one every minute of the day, if you’re really trying. In fact, I’m being a bit of a jerk right now. And now. And now, I’m still a jerk.

That is a pretty odd belief.
