Thank you for coming through with that bit of reality.  Here in Berkeley, the 
reverse discrimination is getting just a little sickening.  Phrases like 
"People of Color" and "White racism" are thrown around just to separate one 
minority (caucasians) from the other minorities(all the rest).  Hey! I'm 
caucasian, are you trying to tell me I have no color?  Peach-colored skin has
a color.  I am certainly not colorless.  In terms of the laws of color in light,
white is composed of all the colors, so maybe I am the true colored one. One the 
other hand, in pigment colors, black is the culmination of adding all colors 
together, so maybe black is the ultimate color.

What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter any more.  The sooner people stop trying
to lay blame on others and simply go about the business of getting along, the sooner
we can get on to better things like......solving poverty, reducing crime, creating
jobs and preserving our world.

When I was a kid, I was sure that by the time I was thirty-five or so, people would 
forget about racism and the blame-game;  they would strive for education;  they would
have solved the energy problem.  Well, you people, we've only got ten years to go by 
my watch and I'm not very encouraged.  If you people don't want to spoil my 35th
birthday then you'd better get busy solving problems and stop pointing fingers.
