I think we all judge the world we see from the perspective of our own experience. I don’t think that asking a question about the physical characteristics of another race necessarily means the questioner believes that those characteristics are abnormal or deviant, just different from our own. For example, Shawn assumed that the person who asked the question about palm color was white, when that message only indicated the questioner was Canadian. Asians, Native Americans and Hispanics also live in Canada. However, Shawn seemed to assume that any person who would make an (in his view) insulting comment about African Americans would have to be white. I hope Y? Forum continues to post as many questions as possible. I might be offended by some questions about why women or whites or Christians seem to have some characteristic, but I would rather be slightly offended and try to respond in a mature manner than to have someone continue to walk around in ignorance. If we are going to learn from each other, we all need to develop a thicker skin. No matter what tone that skin is. I’m glad most posters here seem to be able to do that.
