I have been thinking during the last few weeks about what it is to be a racist because the subject is VERY sticky. I thought, since everyone here at Pixies seems to be so open and honest, that I would ask your opinions. And is there a fine line between safety and racism, especially when it comes to your loved ones.

Some questions to ponder:

Is it racist if....

You laugh at or tell a racist joke among friends?

You get nervous walking through a neighborhood where people of other races live but you have not been threatened?

You are Jewish and you really want your daughter to say, marry a Jewish lawyer?

Especially since Sept. 11, get on an airplane and constantly watch the guy with the turban on?

Think Jesse Jackson's an idiot?

Listen to Louis Farrakahn and think he has some good points or listen to David Duke and think he has some good points?

Think every thing has to do with race?

Think nothing has to do with race?

I'm not sure where I stand but I thought I would throw it out there because, well just because.
