yeah, I have to admit, I didn't even realise how much racism still exists in western culture until I started dancing. The first time I heard of the whole "quota" thing I was aghast. I remember writing a paper in my first year of uni for women's studies opposing the idea of white privilige, I was fresh out of high school in suburbia in a town where everyone is obsessed with being politically correct and racism is a big nono. I thought I knew everything and that there was no way in todays society that racism could still really be that prominent. Yeah dancing has really opened my eyes to what the real world is like, and this is one of the biggest issues I'm glad I'm more knowledgeable on because of it. That's terrible that you ladies have to deal with that. If I were you, I'd say something along the same lines back to them like "wow, you're so nice for a white guy" or "wow, you smell nice for a white dude" Like what Rayna said.

It's annoying. Then I gotta explain that my culture is not a pure race. Waste of time.
