I just wanted to note that I am frequently disappointed to run into racism on an almost daily basis.  I think that racism is based in fear and ignorance, and it really is a shame that it still runs rampant here in the United States.  Having said that, it seems to me that Caucasians are not the only racists here in the United States.  You don’t have to be white to be racist!  Many people that I’ve met are “people of color” who are obviously have racist attitudes of their own.  This is a very sad observation, but it is the truth.
