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."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
