VIOLIST, I don't want to be rude, but how old are you? When did these incidents happen?
To the person who said Belgium was racist, this surprises me.</font>
Pardon me if I don't answer directly
but
I am older than dhammer53.
Eastern shore: before but not that much
before the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Color bar in high school: mid-1960s
Suzuki: mid-1980s
London: 1995, approximately (don't remember
the exact date; I used to go to the National
Gallery every year or two)
Austria: 1 or 2 years ago.
And in Belgium, I have the feeling that they
kind of look funny at anyone who isn't fair,
fat, and Flemish, although I am not the one
claiming that they regularly practice racism.
