Dan, I honestly don't understand what the slur is, please tell me, but I will take your point that less politics is better.

When I put 'good' in quotes, if that's what you perceived as a slur, I simply meant that 'good' as perceived by Americans - Amercanized Afghans, which doesn't mean some kind objective good, since I don't think Americans conform to some objective good either. But if that was the issue, then clearly I made my point extremely poorly.

Sorry.

Between that and "these are not people we want in our country" and other things you said, it snaps closely to the grid of blatant prejudice. If that's not what you intended to convey, please disambiguate your intent more clearly in the future—it doesn't communicate itself automatically.
