[Jacqeline-C]

I totally agree with you that people need to admit and confront their own prejudices. Right now it is really popular for people to talk about striving for a color-blind society. Personally, I don’t think that this is the answer. By pretending that there aren’t any cultural differences in this country we are lying to ourselves and risking the lose our identities. Color-blindness is just a politically correct way of getting around dealing with our prejudices. As for the woman who was reluctant to open the door, she was more than likely more suspicious of you than she would have been if you where white. With all of the school and workplace shootings that have been on the news lately, a lot of people are nervous these days. And when people are afraid, their basic prejudices come to the surface a lot more quickly.
