With much respect I wasn't being racist at all BigDawg,(Period). I am actually offended really. I was just saying that if anything it would be a two week paid leave. just as an example I mentioned that scenario, usually that's how it goes lately on the news right ? Look, when I was a kid I lived in,.. geez how should I put it now ? Diverse neighborhoods and went to schools that where 90% people of ethnic. my first friends as a kid where of color and ethnic backgrounds. I've been beaten and stolen from people of color, my father was shot in the face and killed by a "colored kid", and still, not racist here. I'm not going with new age majority rules, if you're actually born in another country then I will, with respect, refer to whom as such. I think we're way too over board on all that when it comes to a Caucasian mentioning someone of color or sexual preference. We shouldn't cower or be afraid to say it like it is. We're all still friends, I'm jus sorry the simple topic got a "race card"..... it was never my intention.
