I think that is what cashmere was trying to say in her original post. I don't think that her students honestly have a clue that there is a difference. Working with the Boys & Girls Club, I found that it is not a racial problem - we had students that were of all different backgrounds that shared the common problem of not knowing the difference when they spoke. In fact, the school that each child attended would send us weekly reports on what needed special attention when we would tutor with these children. This was quite often at the top of the list.
