I talk pretty freely on GC but it's a completely different level in real life.

And I think if I knew you in real life, I would talk pretty freely with you. But I don't like feeling like I might be putting people on the spot.
If I had a more racially balanced group of co-workers and friends, I don't think it would be a big a deal. But if a group is already in the minority, I don't want to put individuals in the spokesman/woman for the race kind of role.
(although I think it would be pretty funny to be the spokeswoman for white suburban Americans. I'd like to be called on to explain jello salad with marshmallows to someone from a different culture)
