I think the thing about all of us in America is that on some level we are all trying to understand the "race" thing. Or if we already understand it, hoping to somehow get a messge across to those who don't.
I remember sitting in a cafeteria with two American friends over in Denmark and realizing that we were definitely outsiders - that everyone in that huge cafeteria might as well have been cousins to each other. The same blond hair and facial coloring. Multiplied six hundred times over.
That's when I "got" it. I live in, and come from, a nation of mutts. Pure and simple, that is what is so different about life in North America.
