The funny thing is that I have worked for and with minority (mostly African American) businesses my whole professional career and never run into someone calling me racist. But what do I know, I mean I read on the interwebs that I am racist and everything on the interwebs is true!

In the future I will practice a more care in responding to people that are not like me on the surface. I know it was my fault for forming a response to a question based on personal experience living peacefully in a neighborhood with people of different colors, shapes, religions and ages as myself. I now now it was wrong of me to think that AA stood for Asian American because in my experiences in Raleigh and Durham I have never lived in a neighborhood or apartment complex that was completely made up of one group of people.

I also realize everyone else the responded to the question with good humor is a retard and probably needs years of tolerance training.

It's ok, maybe Santa will bring you a book on context clues for Christmas... err your holiday of choice. I am really working on this tolerance thing but sometimes I slip.

Hey, as long as we're working on the "tolerance" thing, let's all work on avoiding the word "retard".
That one makes me cringe whenever I read it!

I agree completely, I meant to put it in quotes actually. I meant to point out that the person making the comment about me being a bigot is using a word that is viewed as being an insult to a group of people.

I will say that I use that word and a lot of other ones that are not PC (that stands for politically correct for the challenged) in non-public forums as I view all words of carrying a meaning that is useful and that no word should be shunned. That does not mean that it should be used in public forums where it will offend other people.
