16. I think it is more a case of trying too hard to fit in.


"I wish I had more black friends"? Uh, you just can't desire more friends regardless of their racial background?

"I wish I knew more black people"? Again with the specific racial heritage?

If you can't get past a persons racial heritage you are probably a racist. I have seen my fair share of racist behavior over the years and overcompensation is a classic. Have you ever heard a white man trying to speak "ghetto" while in the presence of a black co-worker?
