So, I doubt it’s a racial issue so much as a cultural issue (but since I don’t know you I could be wrong). Now… this is where some folks jump up and down and say, “Discriminating on the basis of culture is just veiled racism!” To which I’d respond (as EconProf pointed out), “Talk to Jesse Jackson about that and then get back to me.”

Discriminating on the basis of “culture” is probably closer to “snobbism” in most instances. Sometimes it passes pretty well for common sense, but not when it is habitual or rigid.
