Alan,

With all due respect, you may want to look up the definition of the word 
"racism" because it doesn't apply to prejudice against countries - it 
applies to prejudice against races.

Since Cubans aren't considered a "race", the term simply doesn't apply.  
In any event, this is a list about Fedora, not politics.  Maybe a 
"fedora-politics" list would be a more appropriate venue for that kind 
of discussion.  ;)
