I do think that if you look at generations, it would be more likely that an older generation would have a higher percentage of individuals who hold racist or prejudiced beliefs, which has a lot to do with the society they grew up in, when compared to a younger generation. And I think it is more likely that if someone's pants are hanging off their hips, that person will be younger (and that is with all plumbers included). Isn't it true that biracial couples are accepted more today - not always, but more - than in past decades?

Someone who grew up in the 40's or 50's had to deal with race on a much different level than someone who grew up in the 70's or 80's. I believe that it is easier for teens growing up today to be more open and accepting of individuals based on race, when compared to growing up in past generations.

Now, because you don't agree with me does that mean you'll no longer provide me with much needed input and answers to my basketball questions?

Very well put...
