I take it you never read the Death miniseries.  Some glorious irony in your statement, there.

I really like the second one, but I am perfectly happy knowing that I have no taste whatsoever.

topey, may I recommend William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair? It includes two black characters who are very definitely of African descent and another white character worrying about her son being stationed in India because she's afraid he'll marry a native girl and give her "black grandchildren." I don't think you…
