After a little while he stopped me and then asked "but are there any blacks or hispanics in the area?" I think he must have seen the shocked look on my face because he tried to explain his question by stating that where they lived now there was a lot of drug problems among 'these' people. I was shocked and angry to say the least! |

And had a professor mention how she has been shunned by what she considered were her good friends because she 'considered' adopting a black baby! But she was 'allowed' to go to china and adopt from there.

We all know people who should not have the nice jobs they do. There are stupid, ignorant, hypocritical, racist worthless f**ks everywhere. ahem |
