...There really are multi-generational effects of hundreds of years of systemic oppression and segregation. I think Jon is absolutely right on that point, and I think Bill is wrong not to acknowledge it.
At the university I attended in Texas, I had black friends, Hispanic friends and it was perfectly apparent to me that as a WASP; I was treated much differently than my friends when we were in a place of business, like a restaurant or convenience store.
