The Telegraph article isn't about just any schoolbooks, but about French schoolbooks, which are criticized by a French instution.
Just be careful with your insinuations, or I'll kick you out again!

Thanks for proving in today's "Comic du Jour 2" that I was so wrong on that….

Also, threatening to ban me ain't gonna work. Besides the fact that it only shows your fear to be exposed, a ban is fairly easy to bypass (I just bypassed the last one) but even if you'd ban me for good I really don't care much, as my point is not to be loved by you but to point out your racism and bigotry when you post racist and bigoted items.
Your blog has some very valuable, funny and interesting posts. Unfortunately, it is badly tarnished by others posts that are simply racist and despicable.

You didn't bypass anything; I just had removed the filter that excluded you. It's back now, and Ill manually delete any comment from you that gets through.
FYI: I don't fear to be exposed; I just don't want other visitors here to get the impression that you're in any way representative for the French. You're not, and you will never be.

Good thing the Telegraph article on racist stereotypes specified that it was about schoolbooks. I could have sworn they were talking about this blog.
