A line in Leanthar's recent post about roleplaying and racism got me thinking (uh-oh!). "You can spit on the ground at their feet or something like that but I am requesting (not making it a rule mind you—at this time) to not do it to the character personally"

So as I once again create another thread about racism and roleplaying (sorry, Zhofe, just saw your post on the 7 Thread Rule...thought this was the best place to put this!)

I think it might be interesting to hear from people about some ways we can roleplay the racial tensions that do exist in an effective manner. Because I think they are important, but as with most things, it's all in the approach.

What sorts of activities/gestures/emotions/facial expressions have people used to express this? Just curious...throwing it out there...
