I'm also not disagreeing with or condemning your initial comment - just always very interested in how ridiculous it is in the US that "racism" only seems to apply when it's a white referring to a black. =)

I think the Indian couple a few houses down, in which the husband is an engineer of some sort and the wife a biochemist have a little more cause to be offended by the 7-11 stereotype than the black guy that lives next door and is unemployed, leeching off his girlfriend does over the black stereotypes I mentioned.
