I guess that you are older than me and were brought up in the racist post-war era in GB. I'm 5-(cough) years old and about 20 years ago (in Doc's golden haze) I heard a radio programme where the commentator said that any one older than 30 years had to be racist because of the influences they were exposed to. Methinks he was right and the gray- hairs (or silver-backs if you prefer) are sub-consciously racist even where they are not overtly so. It seems to be a very difficult learned pattern to overthrow.
