    One of my friends has been called 'spade face' for years because she has a big nose, but I've never heard of any racist connotations with the phrase. Why a 'spade,' anyway? Why not a bicycle, or a raincoat?

    Personally, I don't think there is such a thing as a 'typical' black person. Everybody is different and individual, whatever race or color they are. I know some black people think whites are evil or that we think we're superior to them just because we're white, and I wouldn't want to meet anyone like that. All the black people I have met so far (including my penfriend in Canada who I write to but haven't met) have been very nice people and didn't conform to any traditionally perceived stereotype.

    We don't all brag. I don't like myself very much at all, and I have nothing to show off about.

    My parents divorced when I was two, and since then I have lived with my grandparents. I am allowed to swear in front of my father's family (but not at them), but when with my mother's family I get in major trouble just for saying something like 'bloody hell' or 'up yours'.

    I live in southern Spain, and in nearly 10 years here I have never once had the word 'gringo' directed at me. I have, however, been on the receiving end of a barrage of other racist abuse, including being deliberately thrown off a moving bus, broken glass being thrown at me and having the family car vandalized. There seems to be quite a bit of prejudice against British people here. I think some of it is because the locals feel we are helping to price them out of the housing market.

    Absolutely fine. What's wrong with being from Haiti? Or anywhere, for that matter?
