 This is a shame, as I'd love to ask why.

 If I meet a white person (say) and I think they're particularly
 articulate, can I say as much .. or should I wait until they're
 out of earshot?

 What about someone who's white, but has recently spent
 a lot of time in the sun and has gone a kind of reddish tinge?

 I recently spent a few days with a friend and his kids (who
 are around 15 yo) -- they were all born in a different country
 to me, and now I'm a tad worried because I think that on a
 couple of occasions over the weekend I said something like
 "I'm sure there's a better way to verbalise that thought".

 Much to think about.
