Verdekal 11/05/17 2:15:15 AM #1:	I asked a black guy from work who lives in a black neighborhood if he knew anyone who celebrated Kwanzaa. Now I asked because I was curious about black culture but it was called into question. I was being pure when I asked and meant to offense, I was really just curious. Looking back, I guess it was ignorant but I had no malicious intent. I'm Jewish and if someone knew, I wouldn't be offended if they asked me if I knew any Jews who did anything of Jewish culture. shrugs --- Don't tease the octopus, kids! <cite>Verdekal posted [p:889788111] in Was this r...

Ehh but all observing Jews celebrate Passover and Hannukah right? Kwanzaa is, as far as I knew, more a West African descendent holiday. Not necessarily a black thing. So ignorant yeah, if you only asked him because he was black/wouldn't have asked it to a non-black person but not racist. --- PoW '09 Topic of the Year Co-Winners (Rada and Texy) FFD <cite>Kastrada posted [p:889788404] in Was this r...
