	I respect you for working you way up, and you claimed that you 
have no problem dealing with people of different background. But seems
to me that you haven't have much experience in dealing with people 
and fanatism. How about Christian fanatics, Hindu fanatics and other 
religious or idealogy fanatics? Aren't they all share something in
common when it comes to excepting others. Do you think Islam, Christianity
Hinduism and etc teach people to hate those outside their circle? Again,
seems to me that you are blaming a specific group of people for the ills
of our time. Yo man! loosen up, blaming each other will result in more
chaos man. Inject some positivism in this discussion man,like suggestion to
the betterment of the current situations. One more thing, you said you
are respected by the predominantly white people, do you think you will
be equally respected by those at home?..I suggest you do something with
your modesty man! [I'm bringing a cultural relativism question here]

     I never expect this question from a respected educated person 
like you, man. Cross cultural marriage and racial pride? Hmmm I don't
think I can relate that together. I thought only my colonial educated 
grandpa thought that way. Or maybe the question is well beyond my 
comprehension. Maybe I should get my masters degree first before I ponder 
this profound matter.....my sophomoric brain is craving for 
taxpayers' money or maybe I should go home, tap rubber instead of wasting
people's money....ahhh..or should I be discouraged to go home?????

my $0.02 cents...
