Ever since the early nineties, people for some reason started getting offended at everything. Especially the United States, we went through a rigorous process of becoming politically correct about every subject we brought up in a conversation.
To me, people take it the wrong way because of the way they were brought up. Racism is being slowly broken down right now, considering how much we've got support for a black presidential candidate. I honestly think some of the people on here are a bit uptight, but that doesn't mean they're wrong. Touchy subject, but I see your point.
Back on the original topic, I'm torn between Norwegian redheads and Cherokee native Americans.
