@the intellect,
Coincidentally enough i was watching "save the last dance last night" on T.V.
I know its only a film but i theorise that it reflects a certain amount of reality. The scene on the train where that women was looking at them oddly for being a Black-White couple was disgraceful. Its indicative a various underlying tensions.
It seems this forum is ridiculously pro-american and anti- me.
on another forum there are Americans (obviously more qualified than me) who back me up about racism in USA.
