You know what (off topic), I was thinking about the idea of "comfort" the other day. You bring up a really good point. Although I am mixed, I look very "white" and I realized something the other day, while talking to my fiance'-after getting involved in some of the discussions on here...I'm comfortable. I mean, I don't walk into a room or apply for a job and wonder how much my race may effect the outcome. I don't even think about it. Just like, I don't think about how my sexual orientation will be discriminated against because I've got a rock on my finger and to many people-that's all they need, to know that I am straight. I am comfortable. The idea of sexual orientation or race hindering my participation in certain organizations, getting certain jobs, or anything like that-it just doesn't happen.
Sorry, I know that was off topic but, it really is something we must all think about.
