Give me your opinion.
How does "Race" affect social relationships in the United States?

that is tough. this culture is not very homogenous. the most i could offer is anecdotes i think. i can say only that it varies based upon geographic location, socioeconomic level and, probably most significantly, upon the family in which each individual was raised...its like religions, when you find someone who is religiously bigoted, look first at the family of origin and the denomonation second.

People tend to completely misjudge me simply based on my skin tone. Before 9/11 they would judge me as being mexican or mixed, after 9/11, people want to think that I am middle eastern.

I never misjudge people by their skin color.
