I am sitting here laughing at Anna Karenina's post. An aftenoon
brightener!
And then I read on about bigotry...and I find I am always amused when
white people refer to some other ethnic group...like "The Little Chinese
family down the street", or "The Little Jewish lady at the store". I
wondered as a child how they got so small...when they were the same size
as everyone else. I find these comments are made by people who would
never, mind you, never, say the word "Chink" or "Jew" and pride
themselves on their lack of prejudice. So mostly I simply
smile...because I have never heard anyone talk about "That little white
man at work". I could perhaps talk like that...after all, I am one of
those little Jewish women down the street.
I also am amused by the use of the term "dysfunctional family". I hear
it used day in and day out. To me it is redundant. :)
Happy birthday to you Lori....... :)
Peace......Sharon in Wisconsin
