I live in Chicago, and I got to try one of these back in October. I made nice with a camel rep, and she let me try one. It was impressive, tasted like a camel light and as soon as squeezed the end, it was a menthol! It's good for a nice menthol finish to an otherwise normal smoke. Kinda strange, somewhat intriguing.

I understand what you're saying, and I agree. My points overall were ethnocentrically based on racial/ethnic/nationality issues in America. I have little frame of reference when it comes to racial issues in countries outside of the Americas. With regards to "All white people look alike," I was presenting that idea as a possible explanation (based on in-group/out-group phenomena) for the "melting down" of white culture in America through intermarriage. I think the statement is valid in that context.

The reason why the term "White Person" is assumed to be American is because the concept originated in America. Before America, people divided themselves by nationality, geographical region, religion, family...etc. Moving to America removed the obviousness of geographical location (origins) and divided many families. People still divide and classify themselves using these distinctions. Race did not come into play until later.

I think that Race is actually a myth propagated for various reasons by groups seeking power.

This highlights (what I would argue) the biggest racial issue facing this country: "Whiteness" is seen as the everyday normal American (thanks #6), and anything "Ethnic" is not-normal-white. Sometime in the last 200 years, all these "Ethnic" Europeans from very diverse cultures managed to melt themselves down into one Race/Ethnicity. Some sociologists argue that this dissolving of in-group/out-group designations stemmed from a larger protectionist stance against the influx of freed/enfranchised people of color. White people do often keep track of their heritage, but since one white person can pass for nearly any white ethnicity, the physical differences are minimal enough to avoid any social stigma due to inter-marriage. This is not the case with what society labels Inter-Racial Marriage. Due to a large percentage of white-colored ethnicities marrying each other, a 3rd culture has emerged that is largely post-enlightenment, modern and fiercely individualistic. Culture is never static, but I find that White People do not understand that they even have a culture...to them what they do is simply "normal," or "American" or native to their geographical area. For a very basic look at one sub-set of "White Culture," check out www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. As a white person, I find it hilarious...satire at its best.

These comments are pure gold. Thank you all so much.

McKakke! Hahahahaha

I found these for sale on Amazon! Cheaper than the site in the UK (durn exchange rate) and much cheaper-faster shipping. I ordered 2 pairs.

I can't wait for them to come in! This Chicago Smoking Ban sucks major balls.
