    You post made me chuckle. First thing I thought of was her ass a diffrent color than the rest of her and therefore remarkable. The second thing I thought was that the speaker was just being rude. I am sure you are aware that rudeness knows no color or ethnicity. Finally on the subject of name calling, I thought back a million years ago when I was a teenager. I was with a group of friends-- about 6 white and 2 blacks, we were listing the various 'bad' names we had ever heard the other called. As hard as myself and the other black kid could we only came up with 'honkey', whitey' and Mr. Charley. I must say that the list the 'white' friends came up with was much longer and quite impressive. They seemed to be really shocked that we hadn't heard of most of them and even more shocked to know that we-as in black people don't sit around calling each other names and spead very little time calling others names based simply on prejudice or race. You are left wondering if the speaker was being racist, most likely she was just being rude. Is is racist to say that a person is white, if that person is white? Is is racist to say that a person is lazy and shiftless because they are white? Is it racist to assume that a particular group of people think or feel a certian way because of the color of their skin? Those questions will lead you into finding out about racism and bigotry>
