Outdoor climbs..sky is the limit for naming...indoor...better check yourself honky
Honky?
Let's face it, every one has biases and preconceived notions. As a white Christian male I hear and see things that offend my beliefs many times a day. I'm Polish to boot. The trick in life is to be sure of yourself, who you are and what you stand for. What others say stopped mattering to me a long time ago. I know who I am.
