WWI & WWII GIs were indeed shocked that European women welcomed African-Americans with open arms; unlike the GIs, they recognised icing on the cake and found just another man underneath the frosting. Aloha! Rico

I guess being politically correct applies to everything, Rico! I will continue to use Uncle Ben’s, whatever he’s called now (or how he now looks). I enjoyed your poem...
