Sorry...
That should have been just “offensive” not “highly offensive”
Too much disorder in the world from people ratcheting up their expressions
beyond appropriate levels.
And since I am at it let me correct more precisely:
Namism — Thomas ‘bogus-appelation’ Lahn’s affliction — lies between
mildly amusing and mildly offensive as does racism/sexism/casteism/nationalism/etc
Einstein’s “Nationalism is an infantile disease; its the measles of mankind”
should be applied to all such
