Cole and Ringo,
I can see where this could be an interesting topic to discuss, but it is ultimately way off topic from where this thread started.
That being said, I would like to comment that Cole makes an interesting point about generational differences, which may account for attitudes that today would not be politically correct, but were widely accepted decades ago. To be uncomfortable around someone does not make someone a racist, and I appreciate Cole's comment that perhaps his use of the word racist was too strong a term.
And now, I ask that if anyone wishes to pursue this discussion any further, perhaps a separate thread should be started to continue it.
Thanks, guys!
Chester
