My letter is in response to Thomas Mei's article on Wednesday ("Race relations problems rampant at Penn State," Sept. 28).

First, I must say Mei is exactly what this newspaper needs. I have never seen so many letters dedicated to one man's opinion. I love it. Getting a reaction is a columnist's job.

This week, I agree with Mei. I may not be a full fledged racist like the members of the Ku Klux Klan, but I do believe that everyone has some racism in them, including me. I'm sure that there are even professionals here, and else where, who also agree with him. He made a good point when he mentioned the fact that when referring to a person, if you mention their race you're being racist -- whether or not you're willing to admit it.

Brittany Moore wrote in her letter ("Racism not prevalent among PSU students," Sept. 29) that neither she nor anyone she knows is a racist. I doubt that she can honestly tell me that when she has referred to a person that she also has never mentioned their race.

Sorry Brittany, but I do not feel that anyone deserves an apology from Mei. I recommend next time that you be honest with yourself. We're all a little racist.
