But I asked my question first :o) Your response was another question...

To answer yours: I don't think race is an issue as much today as it ever has been in the past. I think there are still issues of race everywhere in the world, including the U.S., and there will always be ignorant people, but most people could care less about race and don't even think about it. That is why I wondered what substantiation there was for that article.
