For example, a typical racist action would be to ASSume that since you are black, you grew up in the ghetto as that is what I usually see on TV . Just like if I was to ASSume that because you are a woman you can't hook up your DVD player to your TV

I actually do describe people by their skin color.. I do it all the time. There's not a damned thing wrong with it. I'm a white guy, olive skin-tone. Saying that a person is black, asian, white, etc.. is an essential ingrediant if you're describing how someone looks. I'm just saying that just BECAUSE I'm white, ASSuming that I'm a bad dancer, have a small #@%, etc... That's bad...

See what I'm saying?

Agreed...assumptions suck.
