Egad, what a strange feeling. Here I am, a resident of the USA's "deep South" - and yet I feel more racially neutral and socially well-graced than someone who purports to be from the shining jewel of civilization, the UK.
Marlin, I can't tell whether you are putting on a front or whether you really are a snob. All I can say is that the position required to keep your nose elevated tends to make it hard to see when you're about to step in something foul-smelling.

" Racially neutral " ? . That's a good phrase, I like that ! Of course, amigo,
you would almost certainly have to be just that, living as you do in New Orleans, a very racially diverse ( another good phrase, is it not ? ) city.
As for your being allegedly more " socially well graced " , well, that's a horse of an entirely different colour, and I, for one, see our debating that as a minefield
best avoided.
I love your closing phrase, although as a reader of Wodehouse I've read it before, but credit to you for relevancy, if not originality.
We have, though, moved a tad away from " Miscegenation ", my original thread.
As is only to be expected, this subject begets polarisation of views - which is why I posted it. And, insofar as that is concerned, I may well not agree with what you say, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it !........and, no, it wasn't Wodehouse who said that !
