I must apologise to those who took it mean that I was implying that to be Caucasian is to be ignorant of other people's cultures. Even though I did say this ...
"note that I do not intend to imply a direct correlation between race and ignorance"
It's just that you'll be amazed at the number of people who expect you to know the difference between Washington state and DC, or Flemings and Walloons, or Prussians and Bavarians, Jocks and Geordies ... and then turn around to reveal the fact that they think 1 billion South Asians (here I'm talking about Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) and 1 billion Chinese are a homogenous lot ... my kids are 1/4 Tamil Iyer, 1/4 Malayalee Catholic, 1/4 Hakka, 1/8 Teochew and 1/8 Hokkien ... as far as back as we can trace ...
Anyway ... am returning to the music ...

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

Well, I'm slightly pink in places and in others I think I'm a kind of
pale yellow colour. Depends on the weather, the food, the drink, how
much sleep I've had - what colour dominates. 
My country is now considered to be one of the most multicultural places on earth but we still have our redneck elements.  Overall it is pretty good though.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Some of the astonishing ignorance I've run into during a variety of political and religious debates on this forum have left me feeling as if there are lots of forum members with little or no contact of a race outside their own ...
I decided to ask this politically incorrect question ... please note that I do not intend to imply a direct correlation between race and ignorance ... but simply to provide an explanation for the feeling of racial isolation that I occasionally get when I make cross-cultural references ...
For the purposes of this poll ... I've lumped Hispanic and Caucasian together as white ... that's probably innacurate ... please accept my apologies if that is indeed the case ....
Cheers!

I must multi-racial: 3/4 Walloon and 1/4 Flemish Belgian but having lived in Canada , France Holland and Mexico (10 months). I am caucasian.
Sure there are always many ignorant people to other people's cultures but no more on this forum than other ones.
