Chance encounter.When I started watching Noah's Arc, I noticed Chance right away ["The Sexy Professor," July 4]. Who was this smart, well-spoken (and cute) black man, and where had he been my entire Queer as Folk-watching, Will & Grace-filled life? None of those shows felt like me, but something in Chance does feel like me, even though I'm not black. Watching him try to be "street" was both hysterical and insightful about the types of issues that people go through when they don't fit the stereotype others expect, be it gay, black, or Latino. Thank you for highlighting what I thought was the most intriguing character in the bunch. CARLOS DELEON Chicago, Ill. Kudos for finally showing a man of color not of the white race; - commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro blood, pure or mixed. See also: Color on your cover.
