Baraka_Guru, that's exactly right. Thanks.

I don't doubt that Ballzor is a heaping spoonful of All American goodness. If others look at him, see that his skin is a different colour than theirs and assume that, because of this, he must *insert racial stereotypes* then it's certainly a question of multiculturalism. They assume that he is a certain way because of his skin colour and, despite the fact that few or none of their assumptions may be true, they use these assumptions to justify not interacting with him. If they would interact with him I'm sure they'd realize that he's thoroughly American. It's a matter of breaking past that initial barrier.
