This issue was actually highlighted by my background in South Africa. As you may know there are a lot of mixed-race people down there. By and large they are referred to as "Coloured." Most of them have about the same general complexion, facial features, and hair type as Susan Rice--except usually darker. That tells me that Susan Rice, in all likelihood, is more than half white. In any case she definitely does not have what they would call in the old days "negroid" features, not even close. She does not speak with a black dialect. If I were sitting in a room with her and she didn't tell me I would never guess she was black. All that to say what you guys have already said--charges of racism in this case are completely and utterly ridiculous.
