funny story on ivory, kind of off-track, but not so much.
picture it: we're sitting in a lil bar in chatty, her friend jenny just had her foot sliced open when some idiot dropped a beer bottle, and we're chillin. this italian dude comes over and kinda chats with the ivory...she's lookin good, no one is surprised....but THEN he asks, "so, what are you?" quickly, my head drops, my eyes close, and i wait for the bell and for ivory to come out swingin. she simply looks at him, states plainly, "i am american." then he's like, "nono...like, where are you from?" again, "i am american." then he's like, "NOno, your
background...where are your people from?" ivory, "i live in tennessee...in america....i am american." finally, he gets the picture and then says, "you korean?".....i DIED. lol....so funny!
guy was hot, though, at least, even if he was a lil dense....
ok, done with hijack.....when i was in AL, my high school had MAYBE 25 non-whites in it. it was the county school.....so mainly just red-necks and preps. african americans went to the other
10 high schools in the city. when i moved in ky, my high school was a BILLION times more diverse and at first i was like, "how weird" b/c i was young and just oblivious to how unintentionally sheltered i had been, but then i was like, "thank God....." felt like my eyes had been opened for the first time.
as long as you're not a racist anywhere you are, i don't think it matters where you live. whether an all-white neighborhood or someplace more diversified....be open to all people and all cultures, whether in your home or out.
