BK>>  She looked at the white woman sitting to my right, and said, "Oh   
    BK>>  yes, I know her."   
      
    BK>>  I pointed to my left and said, no, this is my wife.   
      
    BK>>  Funny what we assume.   
      
    RC> She was racist!!   
      
    Oh, how wrong you are. Or do you really believe a significant   
    number of white men are married to black women? Last I looked   
    the black-white marriage percentage was about 2%, and the number   
    of black men married to white women was twice the number of   
    white men married to black women.   
      
    IOW, the percentage likelihood was far greater for the white   
    woman than the black woman. Like .66 percent. Less than 1 chance   
    in 100. So, the probability of being right was 100 times greater   
    for the inference she made. Remember, this woman last saw my   
    wife when she was married to a black man. That, plus the fact   
    that she grew up in an era when our marriage was not only   
    extremely unlikely, but illegal in many states.
