What do you mean "closed-door"?

And to agree with imaparasite, i think its dumb how we separate ourselves in the US by race.

If we all identified ourselves as Americans the whole damn "political correctness" system would dissappear. It's ******** really. Perhaps the most messed up system ever. We label blacks as "African-American", etc, but that is indeed ******** because how the hell are we supposed to know when a black person is American, African, Carribean ,european, south american, etc?
That is indeed more incorrect, labelling someone improperly, if they are to be labeled.

Why don't people get over the fact that if I describe someone as "black", that it is simply a description I am using to identify them in a way so that someone can visualize them, and that in doing so I am not being racist, but simply using an adjective that can describe anyone of African-looking descent, be they carribean, european, or whatever.

Oh America! we are lost a neverending battle. We want to be seen as "equal", but then every foothold somebody has to say another man is racist, we tend to use.
