[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two Indian kids (Mohawk tribe) thrown out of a college tour because a mother was "nervous" about them being too quiet and just looking wrong.

When are white middle class Americans going to realize that their "gut" is racist, bigoted, and just plain wrong?

I've been thinking about this a lot, lately.  It's standard practice in law enforcement to encourage people that "if you see something, say something."  It's a recipe for racism and bigotry, don't you think?   We have our biases, unconscious or not, and we are encouraged to act on them by calling police.

Where's the appropriate, accurate middle ground here, and how do we get there?[/quote]I have the same question. I am very careful about calling the police these days. [/quote]

Just use common sense. Don't be afraid to call the police because you might offend someone.  All of these stories are blown out of proportion by the media, resulting in every liberal thinking that POC are run out of Starbucks on a daily basis by KKK members. :roll: [/quote]
