Fascination but shouldn't be all that surprising, should it? Think of how much the test scores changed for the blue-eyed and brown-eyed children depending on whether they were treated with respect or not. I was discussing the possibility of a reduction in racism in general in one of my classes due to Obama. One African-American male student stated emphatically that he was being treated better and with more trust by us white folks. I have never felt that I was racist (me! no way!). But to a certain extent I must have been as I now can detect that I feel more positive toward African-Americans, which is tough to admit but there it is.
