Pattypnm123's post wasn't really that positive and upbeat considering she was only saying "I'm a Black person from a white environment...I fit in with the white people...I hope I don't get discriminated against...I will stay upbeat and see what happens."
I think people were too eager to make that the eureka and kumbaya moment of this thread because race discussions apparently need eureka and kumbaya moments. Now the attention has turned to Low D Sharp, which I understand in a general sense, but that's another scapegoat from deeper racial issues pertaining to this thread topic. That's all.

I totally jumped on this bandwagon, but I also felt that PattyPNM expressed a really positive recruitment attitude regardless of race. I'm happy to applaud any PNM who comes across as particularly mature and open-minded.
Also, I was beginning to go down a rabbit hole of ridiculous debate, so I was happy for the uplifting distraction.
