Once again, please re-read what I had said. Starting with the if.

From what Windsor has said, it looks like that being of colour he gets rejected a lot more than somebody who is white.

All I was saying is that this all came about because of non-whites not being allowed in. Once some white folks expressed that they had run into this as well, I wanted to make sure it wasn't a case of somebody pulling the race card pre-maturely.

What I am trying to do is have this conversation based on intelligent observations, and not knee jerk reactions. As a white person I have had people treat me unfairly; however being white I don't ever think of it as being a race issue. I'm just trying to understand the situation, and how it is different for other people.

Because to me understanding is the first step towards the racial harmony that we all seem to be seeking here.
