I wonder what would happen if you completely left race out of it and just used odd names: Sequoia Nevaeh Alamea Kai I bet you'd get the same reaction. And I bet you'd get it from blacks, whites, Asians, etc. People have a preference for their own culture, it makes them more comfortable. Is that racism or just a harmless preference? For example, we had some Europeans bidding on something once and many of my colleagues wanted to throw out their bid because, "they're so hard to communicate with." That's not racism, just a preference. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:145691 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
