In my earlier post, my point was not to start a discussion about cartoon characters. Nonetheless, I did, which clearly detracted from a discussion of racism, or any of the related points about getting at racism's root I attempted (and obviously failed) to raise.
So let's try this again. What are your experiences with racism? Have you been the victim of racism? Have you been confronted with your own racism? Do you talk to people of other races openly about racism? Childhood experiences ... adult experiences ... undermined prejudices... existing biases ... let it out.
