I'm not English, nor am I a philosopher, and so I am wondering the meaning of the word . . . I teach in a predominantly "minority" school, and am accused by my students of being "racist" constantly. Especially when I ask them to do just about anything. :) It's the first thing that comes out of their mouths. I wonder if the extreme problems that their parents faced when moving to the USA for the first time has added to my kids' sensitivity to the problem. I know that they still face the reality of it daily. I will pray for the lady, and that she can find a peace with knowing that not all white people are racist. What does deader mean?
