Man, it's been a few years since I lived in the U.S. I'm trying to get my head around this one, and it might just be too thick for the task. But how is the term "refugee" a real insult? (And no, I haven't been listening to this particular debate in the press, which hasn't reached us out here in the far north).
And to take it a step further -- how is taking the term "refugee" as an insult, _not_ an insult to all of the refugees of this world?
