I'm sorry you misunderstood. I was only giving my observations on the difference between blacks from Europe and America.

- tptacek 16y agoPlease stop referring to "blacks"? I swear to God it's not PC-ness that's prompting this comment; it's my nerdy inability not to bristle at a sentence that misunderstands something so fundamentally.
- J3L2404 16y agoOK? And what term would you use?
- tptacek 16y agoI would avoid generalizing about black people in America. You might be thinking about "the black urban underclass". Those people are very different from "black investment bankers".
- J3L2404 16y agoGood point. My ancecdotal comments were refering to upper middle class people.
- tptacek 16y agoThen I call total BS, because no upper middle class black person that I know is "constantly looking over their shoulder", at least not in any way that upper middle class white people do already. I'm going to be done discussing this now; I'm happy to read anything you write in response, but this is one of those super-unproductive discussions that is inevitably going to embarrass me in a year.
