My younger brother is married to a rather dark woman from Jamaica. She has a very thick accent when angry but speaks without much of an accent when calm. He is white and of mainly German/Irish/Scotch/English descent. They would get looks here in the Villages from both whites and blacks about their mixed marriage. Their son would also often point at his skin and say something like it is only skin deep. This was only a few years ago when he said it and he was about 5 at that time. So racism goes on. It comes from both races though.

I remember that some of the most racist people I have ever met were an African American at the University of Minnesota Law School I had stupidly befriended before I got wind of what he was really like. Earlier in my academic career there was a prince from one of the West African countries attending the University of Nevada, Reno who was in my Minorities in America Anthropology class. He believed that all the African Americans were inferior to those who had stayed in Africa.
