Hey Colin...
"Because that subjects interests me a helluva lot more than Blue's putative racism."
Putative=supposed
The comments she made in there:
Violet "Ron Jeremy doesn't look Jewish."
Violet: "I think we should just kill the entire Middle East."
Violet: "I think they should all go back to where they belong"
Violet: "there are a lot of Mexican scum who tend to live off the government and have a bunch of babies"
Violet: "they keep buying up all the 7-11s.
Violet: "Everybody is white. It's a wonderful wonderful thing. It's clean. There aren't a lot of icky people
..Reveal her racism.... To not recognize this as racism, and instead condone it.. Which the "putative" slipped in there does.. and glossing over it as "Violet Blue's desire to live in a white world" does... reveals Luke's own prejudices... That he sees nothing wrong with the statements she made, that he does not even recognize them as being racist makes him part of the problem.

IMHO of course...
