RE:I can tell you that people still prejudge folks based on color in this country.

I agree, as they do in the rest of the world too. I also agree that racial prejudice does exist, in all races. We'll probably never get rid of it. The best we can do is to try not to act on those pre-conceived prejudices to discriminate against people or even worse, in some cases, physically attack them. Just last week there was a hate crime committed close to where I live. Twelve young blacks beat up a white guy severely, just because of the color of his skin. This is not a unique American phenomenon, Also, I don't believe anyone who says they have no thoughts of race when they meet people of different origins. Personally, I like to see different people, it would be a boring world if we were all the same.
