i would agree with that. i was just calling for some sanity in understanding that in certain situations you are more likely to get descriminated against and only go into those (if they're avoidable) if you're willing to accept the risk as they'll always be bad apples in every group.
for example:
if you're a man, don't take women's studies classes if you can't take a little man bashing.
same goes for white people taking computer science
or brown people who regularaly go to cowboys
or white people who go to the palace (i never went there but i had heard some stories from when it was still open)
and lets get a little perspective here, this racism we're discussing is EXTREMELY minor. just to cover myself from future flames - racism is not minor, it is a big deal - these examples however are fairly insignificant in the overall scheme of things.
