Ballpoint Adventures for April 11, 2006: Maybe Barbie is Really Progressive After All?

Ballpoint Adventures for April 11, 2006: Maybe Barbie is Really Progressive After All?
As a white guy I've gotten messed with by non-whites over the years--less so these days but when I was a kid and even in college, people assumed I was easily frightened by "the other". In some cases I was, because I was stupid, but over time, I came to be afraid of very little. Again, it's really about the neighborhood or context of the person that determines how afraid of or cautious around a person I am. These days, a guy in a business suit raises a bigger red flag to me.
