Perfect example. Last night, at the Square Dance club, the bartender asked the lady if she wanted to start a tab and she said yes - her husband was in the bathroom and would be right over with the credit card. They wouldn't give her the COFFEE she ordered until he did. She said that never happened to her as a white woman. I was out Saturday and my table was served 5 drinks before they took my card!

Each group did start out with preconcieved ideas - especially the white guy. The thing that's tough is that the black people have dealt with it all their lives, so have already adjusted and know what to expect. The white family hasn't/doesn't. That's what so very interesting about the show. And the interaction between the families. I don't know that this show will do great things or that the families will learn and then embrace each other. But it's really really interesting.
