Racism
Members of visible minorities who unjustifiably play the 'racism' card really annoy me. In fact, I would have to argue that such acts are a significant contributing factor to racial intolerance. Members of minorites who expect to be treated in a certain manner will percive slight where there is no cause, as they will simply look for anything to twist into thier own special world view.
So I got called a racist today, well... not me specifically... but I was included in the broad catagory of people she accused of persecuting her because of her skin color. She reported to the union at all the 'white-skins' (her actual words) here were out to get her. Gee... with a statement like that... I wonder who the racist actually is.
On another note, I am starting to get rolling with my Tempest forum posts, and it would appear that my character may be a little smitten with another character, which is odd for me in an RPG as I tend to avoid developing romantic interests between PC's (for some reason). We shall see what develops however.
