It all depends on where you're at. And that's true with any section of this country.If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Hmm. Lemme just go out on a limb here for a moment, could it be that the perception of rampant racism in the USA is simply heightened because, uh, we have different races here?
Isn't it more embarrassing to have a country with uh, just one race for the most part? Well ok, so we're the "new" country on the block, the others just kinda get grandfathered in, the "old" ways ok?
But yes, racism bad, period, no argument there.... and yes, we got it in spades, no argument. How could you tell if a country like oh, say, um ... Saudi Arabia perhaps, had racism?
And yes, racism is embarrassing -- but again, I feel a bit better living with that embarrasment than living with ... mirrors and echo chambers?
As for the scarf, let me tread lightly into the theoretical -- if a Republican had said, "Please wear this badge to show your unity with me." And you saw someone wearing a badge incredibly close to it, wouldn't you mention to the badge wearer, "Uh, hey, is that meant to be that Republican's badge?"
On first glance, it looks legit. But said person can simply deny it, "Nope, it's different." But gee, it kinda looks like it, why would you want a badge so close to that?[sic] happens0 -
The real question that occurs to me is "What was that stylist thinking when picking that ugly scarf?"&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0

It's what's gonna come next that worries me...

Okay... I understand where you are coming from... but, sorry... I don't think so. Because, If what you are saying is true, this means that since the Crips (L.A. Street Gang) wear Cincinnati Reds caps because of the letter 'C'... therefore, Cubs fans shouldn't wear Cubs caps so they won't be mistaken for Reds fans or Crips.

Nope... sorry... still don't make any sense.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!

This is so odd to me. During the winter, I wear scarves (just like RR is wearing her scarf) all the time. I obviously have better taste in scarves than RR, but that is beside the point. It is odd to me that someone would vilify wearing a scarf.The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance,
but the illusion of knowledge.

If anything... those ads shouldn't have been pulled because of the scarf. They should have been pulled because of Rachel Ray.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!
