I absolutely agree Margaret. Acknowledging our differences is not racist and yet some people insist on seeing it as such. I personally do feel it is more offensive to people to pussyfoot around and have to keep thinking "I can't say this." or "I can't do that." because there is a black, white, Asian, Chinese person here who may take offence. Why can't we treat skin colour and ethnicity in the same way that we treat eye colour and shoe sizes?
