But you're a white guy yourself. That doesn't make sense. How does white guilt figure into that?

Will do! :-D Just don't be ashamed of your white heritage, dude. You're trying way too hard.

How about this one from one of the guys who did a bunch of design for President Obama's campaign?

I agree with your general point but this has nothing to do with "separation of church and state".

I don't know you, obviously, but I bet the issues you run into at restaurants with the way people react to you also show up in other parts of your life. Am I right?

I mean this in the least stalky way possible: it took literally like three clicks to figure out your name, your dad's name and the city you both work for. Does he know how you feel about him and so you're comfortable being open about it or...? Sorry if that was weird. I was just surprised by your openness.
