Time has elapsed; Things have happenedWhoa. The last couple of days have been a whirlwind of events. Friday was the last day of classes, which could be sad if I wasn't so concerned about my final projects.

Re: racism, I have had much the same experience as you recently. Although I lived in a couple of different areas of the U.S. as a child, I've grown up mostly in the South. Of course a lot of the Southern stereotypes are true, and there are plenty of racist people who live in this region of America, but I'm always surprised by the number of people who think that racism is only limited to white crackers who drive around with Confederate flags on the back of their pick-up trucks. My high school had a pretty large population of people like that, but for the most part I think there was less racism there, simply because we'd all pretty much grown up around each other.
