I don't see this as any different from calling someone an "Alice" in reference to Alice from the Brady Bunch. That's not racist. It might be demeaning to the person because you are in essence saying that she isn't qualified to run Mike's architecture company and she should stay in the kitchen where she belongs, but that's not racist, nor sexist. I think you're wrong. If he had said, "No black person is capable of being on the President's cabinet. She should stay in the kitchen like Aunt Jamima." Then it's racist, but then you don't even need the second sentence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137282 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
