I heard author Junot Diaz speaking ... he had been on the MIT campus and asked if there was any racism there; everyone said, "no, none, not here, none". He replied,"really? cause it seems like there are a LOT of asian girls with white guys here ..." he got silence to that from a vocal audience. In other words, I think he was trying to say that we're all racist because we're all humans - the question is how much we let it control our judgements and/or how much we pretend it's not controlling our judgement even when it is. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:358550 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
