I know you don't care but I agree. I don't want to give too much mention to the idiot that has been searching for that answer, but I think he was speaking in more of a political sense rather a symbolic one. Either way, the next wave of conforming and assimilating will/ is comming from other groups into ours. The idiot is definately looking for immediate action. It's happening and he's not aware. Your examples just show pople doing their part to break down these colonial barriers. As assimilation occurs, we will notice that other ethnic groups will start to darken until there identity can be known as no other under todays sytem of racial profiles. Precious minds will be allowed to fairly compete and grow. At any rate, that was a good post with great timing. Joyghene!
