    Teal, my response was a general response to the entire thread. You somehow have decided it was about you specifically (in whole or in part), but it wasn't. As I noted earlier, I didn't even see the UCLA comment (somehow I missed it) until you used the term "UCLA" and I searched for it.

    As for "pretend," you certainly are not the first to tell me what my motivations are...I suspect you won't be the last. You're simply wrong, but history suggests you won't believe that.
    First sentence in your post you reference -and expound on - a point that ONLY I made. That's not a 'general response' - it's a specific response.

      OK, this conversation is definitely degrading, and doesn't show any signs of turning around. Whatever has been said that is been offensive, I apologize for having offended you.

      And yes, I acknowledge that I periodically find racist attitudes in my psyche. They catch me at the oddest times, usually when I am patting myself on the back for being non-racist. I do not think any other race is "better" or "worse," which is often a part of the definition of "racism," but I do find myself reacting/responding differently and, when someone points it out or it otherwise comes to light, I have to re-examine myself. I am still capable of making assumptions about a person solely (or primarily) based on the color of their skin or their ethnicity. It is rare these days, but it happens.

      None taken - and I apologize for any I've given.

      Honestly, MM nailed this one already - I was responding to your logic, not your personality.
