Race Relations
I figured I'd give everyone a brief respite from St. Paul Week, which is going extremely well and in my opinion could very well become St. Paul Two Weeks.Last night, I was talking to a friend who said that a guy was hitting on her very aggressively, eventually deploying the line, "You just don't want to sleep with me because I'm black." She thought this was deeply unfair, taking advantage of most people's strong desire never to appear racist. (She didn't end up sleeping with the guy.)
Anyway, this raised a question in my mind: Has a white guy ever beaten up a black guy for calling him a racist?
