Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

There's a discussion about whether or not it would be a respectful exercise to gain understanding by spending the day as a different race to what one would normally be in Second Life. I wouldn't do it myself as it just doesn't seem the correct thing to do, however I think if a person goes into it with a desire to learn very likely it could be a productive exercise. I think that, like so many things, the intentions are important. I think things like that particular exercise aren't all bad or all good. I'm reminded of other things I've dismissed personally that later, hearing about from another person's thoughtful perspective, came to seem neither bad nor good but having the potential for both.
