Why?
Our country needs help. It's always better to support your own-- and your own doesn't necessarily have to be a racial referrence.
Why should I support Amir in southern India when I could support Marcus down the street?
Why should I purchase my cheesy American Flag lapels from a Chinese manufacturer?
Why would I go to the "Soul Food" restaurant in SE DC that is owned and operated by a Korean family?
There are Christians who purchase their fast food almost solely from Chic Fil A. Are they wrong for doing so?
Blacks and whites throw the "racist" word around so much without any respect for the meaning of the word.
Preferrences are human nature.
Racism implies something that is sytematic.
