I cringed too when I read that. But then I remembered, (of course in the distant past), how often I would looked at a bunch of clueless Asians getting off the bus and think "Fresh Air Fund." We all have our prejudices. I am no exception. Although most of us have learn not to say it out loud.
New thread - "Sh*t we used to say but can't anymore."
Now, I see the same bus load of clueless Asians and think "a step in the right direction." We all can grow and change. .
Couple of things I learned over 40 years of skiing. I AM the Asian tourist wherever I go.
On the flip side. A local is someone who hasn't gotten his sh*t together to travel.
It's not the difficulty in spotting the "gaper" in any/all of us. It's the expression of the sentiment, and not attributing it experience/training/ability or personality. That said, I totally agree with you about curbing my own prejudices. It's something we all have to deal with. I discriminate against "stupidity" all the time. [Unfortunately, often times it's against myself. ;-]
I vote to move this thread back on track and close the "race" discussion. My post was hopefully well considered and made the point. [No, this is not an attempt to get in the last word. It's an attempt to keep things civil.]
