I will have to check that out.My last roommate before I got married was a black woman that I worked with and went to school with. We always had a great time together. And if I had a cultural question, I would say, hey, can I ask you a cultural question? We never had any problem talking about things like that.
And, I mean, let's be real... different groups of people sometimes have different traditions and habits, and the only way to learn about such things is to be able to talk good-naturedly about them.
