“’the average federal worker — oops, employee’” is neo-con code for ‘black.’ You are a racist bigot.”
Because it is simply not possible that Blacks – oh horrors, large numbers of them, even! – in federal employment could be lazy or be poor workers, right? Such an idea could spring only from racial bigotry, to be sure. Your diatribe becomes problematic only if we have the gracelessness to try to figure out how it apples to the 82% of non-Black federal employees about whose indolence the author was also speaking. And your diatribe, therefore, says much more about your bigotry than anyone else’s.
