Lol, Bobasaur! I have a question. Can anyone here tell me please about any one group of people who have never been opressed by another group of people? Someone mentioned that merely being caucasian means having benefitted from the opression of others, or something of that sort. Does that mean that everyone who is caucasian should carry the guilt of their ancestors around like a millstone for eternity? Sorry. I don't buy it. I treat all the people I interact with with the respect and courtesy they deserve (most of the time. Everyone has bad days), and I expect my children to do the same. Color or ethnicity is irrelevent. It's icing on the cake as far as we are concerned; decoration. If I am not to judge others by the color of their skin, why should I be judged on mine? Which happens to be somewhere in the neighborhood of EFD5C7 if it matters to anyone. The other people in my neighborhood tend to range anywhere between 7B5533, and E3C595, though the majority are B98E5F. They really don't seem to care about my EFD5C7, any more than I care about their 7B5533->B98E5F. I really don't see why it should be such a fuss. >^_~
