Most struggling whites I know here live a life of quiet desperation, mad at their white bosses, not resentful toward their co-workers or neighbors of color...

3 race/skin color references in 1 sentence. Is that all these people think about?

I can't remember the last time I made a race/skin color reference of somebody. Any time I ask my kids who somebody is, I always ask "who was that kid in the red shirt" or "who was that tall kid with the blue stirrup socks"....

About the only time I made a reference to skin color was in a dangerous situation. We were at a winter church retreat and one of the guys in our group went missing. I asked the director to make an announcement. He started to describe him as 6 ft. tall, bald, blue jacket. I stood up and said “It’s the black guy.” He was the only black guy there so it was a perfect description. No one had seen him so we got a search party started. Me and a friend were the only campers allowed to join the staff in the search. My friend and I found him an hour or so later. Hypothermia was starting to really kick in but he was fine.
