was it racism or a lack of cultural awareness? they are 2 different things to be honest and young people often say things through a lack of awareness rather than being racist! DOnt beat yourself up over it Chrizzle.
I think that as educated people though we need to accept responsibility for our actions and not hide behind titles like "part time racist". I am an adult and would happily defend my words or actions to anyone as I dont directly do or say anything with a racial under-current or say anything that could be implied as being racist. When working with the client groups that I work with I am very aware of my words and actions because in this day and age of political correctness it is important that we dont do things to cause offence.
