This is ridiculous. Should we all now aspire to have a black friend? Are there agencies renting friends of different colours? I´m 32 and in my life I´ve spoken to a black person once. It was on a bus and he was asking me about how to get somewhere. There aren´t many black people in Poland, not many in Ireland either. Does the fact that I don´t know any black people make me a racist?

What we should teach our children is that all people are the same, regardless of their race, gender or material status. Not that we should do something just to show off...

 This reminds me of my oldest son when he was aged 2.  We were travelling from Germany through Netherlands on a train.  He sat on my husbands knee staring blindly for what seemed like hours, at the black man in the seat opposite, never ever having seen a black person before.  The black man found it very amusing. 

What? there were no black people in UK like 20 years ago?

You are right about teaching our children that people are the same where ever they are from (we are all physically made the same way more or less I mean) or what ever position they hold (I hate elitism as much as racism).  Not like Animal Farm, "all animals are equal, just that some animals are more equal than others"!

Strange thing I feel whenever I read your posts they have a tint of elitism. Why?

We are not animals. We are human beings, designed perfect but failed at our own choice.

He is 32 so 30 years ago, there were hardly any black people where I come from in the sticks, and there still aren´t that many. 

Oh, ok, still but strange. Then you must be from one of the elitist part of UK as I assume.

You find my posts are a little elitist because that is the way you wish to find them. I think you have this view of me so that so off the mark!!! 

You dont know that, but you are to some extent elitist. Anyway...

 Anyway,  I did not say we are animals, just quoting from the book Animal Farm by George Orwell.  And really a perfect example of how people as you say, "Designed perfect (most of the time) but failed at our own choice"

That is the exactly thing. I dont like George Orwell (he wrote crazy demonic stuff) and you quoted him. He is one of those who try to animalize humans who are perfect by design but chose to do evil.

2) What makes you think I am elitist??  You know about as much about me as I know about you and that is not that much

Nothing pesronal I know of you. I may know a bit of your ideas. Our words, our posts do represent much of us.

This is turning into quite a strange thread, where it seems to be an issue that you do not live somewhere where black people have chosen not to live!  Funny thing is, I live somewhere where Poles, Lithuanians, Estonians, and Latvians prefer to live

Thats why you have a dislike of eastern europeans.

in the States we teach children to not stare. if that had been me,  my mother would have said something to make me stop. being one of the rare ´brown/woman/foreigner´ that most people have ever met or seen before, i wonder why people think it´s acceptable to stare. maybe it is just cultural but i find it rude. maybe in other cultures staring is acceptable. i am certain the man wasn´t amused.  he was just tolerant as life has taught those of us who get stares ALL the TIME to just bare it as best as we can. otherwise we will go around everyday angry and depressed. better to make lemonade...

by the way i´ve been in poland...next time i come i´ll call you daydreamer so you can add two to the list of brown people you have met!
