Is the reading below then correct.
I thought it doesn't add much meaning because it might be used sarcastically (by Eliot Weinberger). He could as well have put the part cancerously white in quotes (because "cancer" is her word not his, and he might not share her opinion on the white race).It's not wrong but it's incomplete because it fails to explain the word cancerously. That is a very strong word and its omission greatly changes the meaning.
I'm sure it is meant sarcastically. (He was probably mocking her.) That's why I would keep it. You could put it in quotes yourself however.I thought it doesn't add much meaning because it might be used sarcastically (by Eliot Weinberger).

The reason why I didn't do that was because "those who are not cancerously white" sounds ambiguous. It could mean either all non-whites, or those white but not "cancerously" so. I just wanted to make sure it was the latter.I'm sure it is meant sarcastically. (He was probably mocking her.) That's why I would keep it. You could put it in quotes yourself however.

Opps, sorry, I meant the former. I thought we have all agreed that it was about all non-whites, haven't we?It was.
Have I? I didn't know that. At least there was nothing in the PMs or posts with the word "warning".Ostap, you are flirting with banishment. You've had two warnings in the past and my patience with you is wearing very thin indeed.

This forum likes to stay away from easily irritating topics like religion and politics as much as possible. It's difficult to distinguish between linguistic analysis and opinion in threads like this. Just try to focus on the language part in your threads and you'll be A-OK.Have I? I didn't know that. At least there was nothing in the PMs or posts with the word "warning".
I checked the rules and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Considering all that, banishment is indeed very possible.
