I find your situation interesting. I am Canadian and wonder if there is a reciprocal situation north of the border. Anybody out there to comment? Myself, I've never had a problem, no matter the ethnic background. If people are polite or rude, it seems to be their background or upbringing... nothing else. One of my mixed friends has commented on receiving less than optimal service from others. ???? I live in Australia now and have learned that there is much discrimination against the Aboriginals, depending on the area, similar to Canada, (and I am sure, also the States), and would like to hear from some of these groups to know the opposite side.

I think with his very first statement, Mike is forgetting there were people here before him, and before the French and British and Portuguese and Spanish. African Americans were NOT the only race stripped of their culture, religion and heritage. Before them, it was the First Nations (Native) and Inuit people of this continent, and THAT should never be forgotten, although it unfortunately is. And yes, it happened in Australia, too. People who became 'slaves' in their own countries, who were also forced from their families, punished for practicing their own religion, speaking their own language, who are also consistently experiencing racism today. Let us not forget those people, too.
