I never thought of myself as a racist. I don't think many of us do. It really isn't too 'PC', nor intelligent, to come out with all guns swinging against a certain ethnic group.

Yet, I always tried to maintain a certain level of open-mindedness about all sorts of topics, racism being one of those. Yet, today during my commute (it is about an hour) I came to realize that I haven't been as tolerant as perhaps I could.
