    I agree here. I live in an area not heavily populated with black people. Because I have had limited experience dealing with people of other races, I don’t know how people will react to me. Usually what makes the news or the papers is when the NAACP is reacting against something supposedly or actually racist. I tend to be overly sensitive to not offend what may be one of the 2% of black people who live in my town. Ignorance of those cultural differences is where I sit, though not completely of my own choice. I do, however, have plenty of friends from Mexico who live in our area and work in the furniture factory and at farms in the area. I’m more in tune with them and can discuss more without fearing they will ‘take it wrong’. Isolation of cultures, geographically or maybe just in cliques, can lead to a certain portion of that uncomfortable feeling.
