It is a matter of em-PHAS-is, as those who go out of their way to tag Obama with "Hussein" know very well.

So basically, you're saying it is a subjective thing. Those who want to see it as racism or as painting Obama as a terrorist will see it as that, and those that don't, won't.

No, I'm saying that one can often tell by the emphasis and repitition someone uses, whether or not it is used untowardly as a slur by culture/race.
