That's for sure... ironically, racism is one issue that has no boundaries.

Thats why we have a 'democracy' so people of differing opinions can vote on how / what they like.

I doubt we'll ever rid ourselves of these issues, and even if we do, other issues will rise up, so I definitely agree with you there.

I don't take notice either, but I know plenty of people that do, and its takes me back everytime someone brings up this issue to me. I know people that think if a black person moves in next door, they're a drug dealer. Sad truth.
I think conversations like this are key to really figuring out what everyone thinks and getting on the same page.
