[The Gaijin]

In parts of this world, it would be "black, "white" and "colored". D - you observation holds true in America in 2008. I have a friend from Liberia, who because she is decended from re-patriated slaves (and assumed to be part white) - is not considered a "black African" by many of her countrymen.

The most maddening and complicated things I have ever come across considering this dismal subject is differences in color and class and resulting prejudices is within the Black American community. But as a card carrying white guy, I would not touch this subject asbestos gloves.
