OK, so this cool thing started happening as I started getting in to doing the Jesuit examine each night.  I go over my day, and have an opportunity to think deeper about an event or topic from earlier.  Sometimes, I actually get myself out of bed and write them down (this being one of those times).

Today during my DISCOVER group, we got into a discussion about races and racism.  We talked about how basically everyone is racist whether they know it or not.  This didn't surprise me, as I can definitely see that as being true, and I do still believe there is way too much racism in the world.  However, I don't think that I am racist, active or passive.  I know it may seem awefully high and mighty of me to say that about myself, but I honestly can not think about a time when I have acted in that way and had any truth or conviction behind my actions.  Sure I joke about little things, but I see no harm in it when everyone knows how I truely feel about the matter.

I remember a very funny South Park dealing with racism involving a death camp of tolerance.  Sorry, that just popped into my head...it's late.

Anyway, back on topic for just a little longer, it still surprises me how much racism is left in the world.  When I meet someone, that is one of the last things I would 'judge' someone on.  Unless it was some crazy cool person who I've never met, like a Tibetan monk or something.  But as I said in our discussion earlier, it just clicked with me tonight that the recruiter who got me interested in Deloitte is African-American.  It's things like that which help me believe that I'm not racist.  To me, it really does not have any negative effect no matter what race you are.  Going to school in London my junior year of high school, there were students from all over the world, yet they were all treated as equals there.  It was amazing.  My friends from Mauritius had the same opportunities as those from Zambia, Ukrane, England, and everyone else.  I think it was a combination of that, and my parents doing the best job of all.
