[Sportsandrec] A conversation starter: Blind Ref Trailer

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Jodie,

I by no stretch of anyone's imagination believe in those racial 
constructs they created,  and  are alive and well today however, I 
think people would do well embracing what 
racial/cultural/lingual  identity that sets them apart from the 
racial/cultural identity that constitutes the usual heavy tongued and 
pallid American homogeny.
Any thoughts of this statement would be appreciated!
