Not sure what you were trying to imply.
Uh ...you do know that the OP is white?

What are the specific reasons why you don't feel comfortable in an all-white crowd?

Go read my posts again and you will see in my second post immediately after my first post I say white liberal guilt. And I knew only a white(okay, white liberal) person would start this thread.

So I did not change my stance, bro.

Yes, the OP needs to get a life. But there is a term for the psychological disorder he is suffering from, and it is actually quite common among white liberal elites in the United States:

Self-hatred - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
Self-hatred (also called self-loathing) refers to an extreme dislike or hatred of oneself, or being angry at or even prejudiced against oneself. The term is also used to designate a dislike or hatred of a group, family, social class, mental illness, or stereotype to which one belongs and/or has. For instance, "ethnic self-hatred" is the extreme dislike of one's ethnic group or cultural classification.

This thread would have been a whole lot better had it not mentioned race and only mentioned type of stores and their costs.

Because I share that fear. There is a really good chance that PCM is going to be nothing but overpriced drinks, food, and wares.

But who fn cares what race people are.
