Apparent? That is too funny. How many people on this list know my race, however that's defined? I know a black person who sounds like Bill O'Reilly on the phone. You really believe it would be apparent if someone on this list was from Nigeria and named Gattahoon if he was educated in the US and held to many of the cultural norms of the US? I have a friend from the Czech Republic who, although white, holds views very different from my friend Gettahoon. Race tells us little about a persons ideas with the exception of ideas about racism in my opinion.
