I dont aggree with lowing the MINS for anyone and thats not what I was inferring I was simply saying that though we have made some strides we still have a LONG WAY to go, I am simply saying that people still judge you because of what color you are, you dont know how many times I was mistaken for the Frigging Red Cap and but my Captiains has never had that problem, Rick I have some stories I would love to share with you over a few beers one day, you would call me a lier but I have nothing to gain by lying, besides I was not raised that way,
hey the world sucks sometimes. i hope that guy in your class was kidding. if not he's an idiot. I don't doubt that things still occur that have creepy racists overtones. Hiring a 25 year old women with no jet pic when a man could never get hired with the same quals won't help to fix that! (may actually increase animosity) If it makes you feel better i get mistaken for a skycap all the time and I'm so white you need shades to look at me directly in the sunshine.
