[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 656115, member: 1963"] Cedar, I remember getting slapped in the face by this shortly after I went to work as an IT contractor for a German company supplying IT services to military bases in Germany. I was scheduled to meet with a German IT technician in Frankfurt. German name, etc. I remember wandering around the cafe' across the street from the base for about fifteen minutes, repeatedly walking past this tall, black man in a business suit. Finally, he walked up to me, stuck out his hand and said, 'Frau xxx?" I'm Herr xxxx". Same name. I remember being stunned that I couldn't tell he was black by his voice. My own prejudices slapped me right upside the head at that moment. [/QUOTE]
