I know this thread has developed into how the people of RW represent African Americans, but I want to add my white girl take on the Coral/Mike situation. I don't think Mike would have mentioned race if he was racist He kept being asked where he was from and I think the conversation was an extension of those questions. I think that if the conversation had gone further we would have realized that Mike was saying "that's what Uncle Bob thinks, but I know he's wrong." At least that's what I hope he meant. We're all teachers at some point. Coral & Malik could have said "I went to ABC U., and he went to EFG U., we're educated." I don't believe there were bad intentions by anyone involved. Sorry to intrude.
