I have never felt the need to "get away" from a woman I was checking out (black, Asian, white or whatever). However, it could be that they are afraid of being perceived as doing the wrong thing, and then getting attacked. With all the diversity training I get a work, it makes me think three times before I ask any question of a black man or woman, out of fear of legal entanglements. The message seems to be that Blacks and some Hispanics are very prickly and waiting to start something. And yet the black folks I talk to are always open and helpful.

I felt my ribs, and I can not tell if they are flat or round.

I have never heard of this issue. The subject came up when I was a teenager (1970), and my Grandpa said he would not buy a German car. My Dad said (around that time) it did not matter to him. However, I would worry about some guy at work if he started quoting Henry Ford regarding the way the world worked.

When I use the term, I mean average folks. Not poor, not rich. I suppose I even mean folks without an accent, but not necessarily of a particular racial background. Someone you would grab a beer with. I have never heard of "Sunday and Holiday" people.

I do not pick my nose in public. Neither does my wife. My mother made a big deal about not doing it in public when I was growing up. Most of my friends believe that picking one's nose in public is not proper behavior. While I have picked my nose in my car, I was the only one there, I used a Kleenex and I was careful to make sure there was no one in the lanes next to me.
