i agree. try DATING someone from another race. i dated a girl from trinidad when i was in college. got flack from people who were supposed to be my friends (and supposedly open minded) and a lot of nasty stares from people on the street. never did tell my family, as i knew how that would have went over. it wasn't a serious relationship (but it was a LOT of fun ), but i knew that i couldn't tell my family about it. america is far, far behind in this respect. who gives a shite? i'll never understand.
