I hope this makes it... *** The fact that I will not buy Kyle's book is not a lead in for the question that followed. I like Kyle's writing and his photos. I am really glad that he is getting the attention that he is. He works hard on it and all the best to him. Nevertheless, I will not buy it because, well, call it a character flaw of mine, if you will. I am allergic to guns, gun discussions, gun related anything. It is not a problem with Kyle or anythone that needs to address. Hence my original words of "no need to explain or defend it," We are blessed in this country to have competing thoughts and multiple races. For many reasons, we chose to move to CA, one of which is the diversity. When our then 14 years girl went to Washington DC for a one week field trip, she remarks that "Wow, DC is quite white." She also went to Camp Everytown (google it) in a later year for a whole week where some of these stuff are examined in role playing sessions. Folks, I just made an observation. I did not call anyone racist. We notice things like that only, for example, it took us high and low to find a doll that look a little like our kids. 10% of the population should be 10% of the toys right? How about the all famous "skin-color" bandage. It sure doesn't blend with 25% of the US population's skin. p.s. congratulation to Sonny. He knows more Asian actors than I do :-) // richard
