Wow. That's the worst argument I've seen in days. The quote that
spawned this whole thing has nothing to do with *food*. "We pay cash at
restaurants especially ones of certain nationalities." With the context
being about debit/credit cards, we are clearly talking about people and
making the insinuation that "certain nationalities" are more trustworthy
and honest than others.

Only in the sense that Hoffer discussed.
Nice red herring post.
