    I was in in NYC's Spanish Harlem one day. I got lost. It was in the early 1980's. We drove a bit further and got into Harlem. In those areas, everyone stared at us with a look like, what are YOU doing in this part of town? I must admit, we were fearful. Now our fear doesn't necessarily suggest prejudice on our parts but clearly we were different and it was tense.

    Same here when I visit an all-White area.

    I would never allow color or national origin be an excuse for stupidity!

    I don't judge people until I know them for awhile.

    Unless they're from California.

    I feel the same way when I'm in the hood. No really, I'm not playing. I become very uncomfortable when I have to go to those areas.

    MrsJ, I think that fear is not because of racial bias.
