Nope, Dino's right - there's a double standard. If a black guy says to a white guy, "dude, you're SO white" it's pretty socially acceptable. I could even see hearing something like that after a corporate business meeting. But if a white guy said to black guy, "dude, you're SO black" ... whoa. Diversity training time. Now maybe a double standard is warranted ... I don't know. Just like it's ok to slap a guy on the back unless the guy happens to just have had back surgery. Maybe the would off racism is still too fresh to expect a single standard. But there's no doubt there's a double standard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:285904 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
