> Why should I care about them when they don't care enough for themselves to listen more carefully?

Ditto

> DIRT DIRT DIRT TURD DIRT TURD DIRT DIRT DIRT GOLD TURD

You asked for my opinion, I gave it to you, and I get this back. I see now I should have either wrote a long-winded dissertation or just not responded at all.

> Why is my analogy poor?

Because dirt is common and merely unwanted. It prompts no reaction or even acknowledgment of it's existence.
Feces is filthy, carries disease, and prompts the dry heaves in large quantities.
It's not that the insult is just 'not interesting' or 'valueless'; It's downright offensive, it has negative value, it causes other to return fire or walk away. To use your own analogy, which you still prefer, the insult is not the gold or the dirt, it's methane gas. We do not stay in the mine when it's filling up with methane.

> Racism ... it's the unjustified racial discrimination.

Racism and racial discrimination are two different but not mutually exclusive things.

> you had a very different idea of what is racism than mine when I was writing my post.

This much is now obvious.

I'm reading between the lines here, and sensing hostility. As such discussing anything further with you could only be a masturbatory exercise.
