# speaking of racism....
an event at work last night has confused my middle class sensibilities. A mixed race chap i work with last night had a couple of drunks kept calling him Obama and calling him mister president. it all felt a little bit racist to me. before i went over and said anything i noticed that, in fact, the guy does bear a startling resemblence to the new president. now i'm all confused

# This sort of stuff always befuddles me.
could be considered racist, but then i wouldn't be offended if a buncha black guys started calling me elijah wood or something, just cos i was white. it's a trivky area, made trickier by the social weight of guilt carried around by most decent white folks because we're always worried about appearing racist.

it's a funny ole world eh?

let's test your racism levels...


didyalol?!?!?!

# It is harder to differentiate people of a race foreign to your own
due to perceptual adaptation. "Black/chinese etc all look the same" is not necessarily racist, they look the same, because the prototype in the brain for other-race people is more generic, meaning they do "look" the same. If one was to live for a long time in africa, one would adapt to the facial prototype there, making face recognition/differentiation much easier.

I mean, RACIST!
