I think commonality offends most of us. I was in Vancouver a few years ago for a conference and happened to get front row tickets to see The Rolling Stones concert. Going back to the airport the next morning the Sikh cabbie asked me what I was doing in Vancouver, I said a mining conference and to see the Stones. He said, "I was there to, the Stones are veery veery good, Jagger is soo vital". I was shocked that this guy was at the same concert I was and probably enjoyed it as much as I did. He was also wearing a t-shirt they were sold out of that I wanted to buy.

I realized my thoughts were slightly racist. It was also slightly racist that I enquired where his seats were and was happy I had a much better view. I asked him when he dropped me off what the worst thing about driving in Vancouver was, without one hesitation he said "Chinaman in Volvo" so I guess we are all slightly racist.

I've seen the Stones four times, the best time was in Fargo, North Dakota.
