[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't stand it. My husband does it. He really is not at all racist. BUT he was in politics for a long time in a very diverse town. So it was just habit to observe and label things. The black side of town needed xyz and the Chinese side of town was struggling with abc. To him race paints a clearer picture of whatever story he's telling, but it makes me absolutely cringe. I've pointed it out a million times but he's not great at avoiding it.[/quote] Me again - there was a friend I used to talk about to DH. I would tell him stories of the friend and then one day after a couple of years DH met the friend. After we left he told me that he was very surprised that the friend was black, because i had never mentioned it before. But there was never any reason to. None of the stories I told had anything to do with race, so DH always assumed he was white.[/quote]
