Gee. I had no idea this would ruffle feathers. And thanks for the kind words of support everyone. It means a lot to this birthday boy.
I’m all for fighting racism with a hair trigger, but since when does the mere mention of West Africa automatically make me a racist?
After they got their car out of harm’s way I actually spoke to one of the guys who told me (completely unsolicited) that he was from the Cote d’Ivoire. But for the record, I probably would have mentioned it too if they had been from South Australia or even South Carolina for that matter.
Also, I am not a paid employee of the West Seattle Blog. Absolutely everything I have covered for them as been done as a volunteer, both as a service to the community and because I believe in them and what they are doing. Anything I contribute to this blog is my own responsibility and should not reflect poorly on them in any way. The WSB owners have been nothing but kind and supportive from day one.
