Even with my admittedly pitifully limited experience I'd have to call bull**** on that. Even here in Ireland blacks can be viewed with suspicion, probably not as much as say America or maybe the UK but still, they definitely evoke the most distrust and a sense of "you're not one of us." I think that's true for black people no matter where they are, unless we're talking about countries where they're the majority, such as Africa, the Caribbean etc.

Well I'm sorry, but I didn't create the thread solely for you. Sure, we'd all like to live in a world without racism, where everyone is afforded the same rights and dignity, but sadly that's not the case, and wishing it were so and closing our eyes to what's going on is just stupid. We talk about racism in many threads, especially in this section, so I thought why not have one dedicated to the subject, where we can explore it, discuss it and so forth. Nobody's under any illusions that this thread will make a blind bit of difference in the real world, but it's worth at least talking about.
Also, nobody's stopping you creating your "racial diversity/melting pot/can't we all just get along?" thread. What are you waiting for?

Karen was so upset at the end of that movie (I call her "Tiny Tears" now) until I reminded her of this (1:44) and then she couldn't stop laughing. DDL is amazing though.
