9. I also think a lot of people actually mean 'culture'

when they talk about race.

I'll confess that I am a hell of a lot more comfortable around college educated and erudite African Americans who share my culture than I will ever be around even the most lilly-white person who speaks with a inner-city vernacular and listens to rap and hip-hop. I'd *love* to hang with Cornelius West and would not care to with Eminem. Skin color is pretty much under my radar after 20+ years in a corporate world where, to its credit, my big evil company did an excellent job of promoting people of color, but use 'axe' instead of 'ask' and I'm immediately uncomfortable.
