I used to think I was non-racist too, once. Now I'm just depressed by how many of my prejudices keep crawling out and surprising me. You'd think a guy who's lived his entire life in a multi-cultural milieu wouldn't keep pigeon-holing people based on how they look or what language they speak. Nowadays I think of myself as a bigot keeping a tight rein on his prejudices. I figure if I can keep my bigotry from actually influencing they way I deal with people, that's about as good as it gets. I find that the older I get the harder it is to maintain all my illusions about myself. Which is too bad, because my illusory self is waaaaay cooler. He doesn't have a bald spot, to begin with. -- b
