Well, I guess most of us here belong to the same culture. The one which originated in ancient Greece, and then through incorporation of Roman culture and christianity spread across the Europe and got exported to America. :) That is where our roots (that is, most of us here on this list) are. That is where the cultural associations of colors like black and white come from. I'm pretty sure that by "other cultures" you do not mean culture of native Americans, Australian Aborigines, nor even Chinese or Japanese culture ;). I'm also pretty sure those cultures are *not* the reason why someone wants to change various names to avoid words like "black" and "white". The one and only thing is that reason: political situation in the USA. Pretty bold to think that one country's circumstances should decide for the whole world, or even for the whole Greco-Roman part of the world, eh? That's a real attempt at cultural domination :) -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."
