Agreed.
Look, by nature, humans are racist. It's a broad comment that I make, but I stand by it. At least to some degree. Some are more tolerant than others, some aren't. Like most things in nature, it varies.
gman - a person is a person. Doesn't everyone deserve a fair go? Or do we pre-judge them on country of origin? How fair is that? How just is that? Does that make us any better than the tyrants they are escaping?
