I don't mind refraining from spelling Amerika with a k, but keep in
your mind that it's a homage to Kafka's unfinished novel _Amerika_
(and Mark Amerika's _The Kafka Chronicles_). BTW, I'd like you also
to refrain from a casual & impertinent use of the term racism, which
makes it useless politically.
