Monday

I grew up with immigrants - Ukrainian, Italian, Greek, others. The 2nd thing this white boy learned to cook was curry, when I was little. I always thought that being different (in Anglo values of "different " ) made people interesting, not scary.

I never understood why people hated those who are different. Fear, I guess.
