Hey Annette....................
Don't even think about it! I'm not white and in my head when I first become acquainted with people here I somehow in my mind picture them as white I guess cause I don't picture anything else, so what's that about?
I rarely ever picture a person in a "color" unless somehow it comes up that they are!?
I had a recent comical experience with a friend here who is in a challenge with me at FVF and in several comments that we've made over the weeks/months I kept thinking, "I think she's black?" But I couldn't ask her that, how ignorant would that be? But finally in a recent email to me she gives me this hair care link to products primarily used by African Americans so I thought, "I'm just going to ask her!" So I did, and she found it humorous too, because as she said, "not like I could give you the "secret" handshake over the computer!"
But until then I had no clue she was African-American, and it didn't matter of course, but it's just funny how you don't assign a race, size, etc. initially.
Although, I will admit that I picture all of you as buff! Everyone of you have these majorly cut muscles and look like fitness models, just my own image and I then assign different hair colors to distinguish you in my mind from one another. How odd I am, I just realized how incredibly odd that is!
So don't feel sad/bad about your observation, I think most of us have our own little "quirks" but regardless of what we think initially, it's nice to know that when we find out we can accept what we see without a problem and even laugh at ourselves for our original thought.
