The Human Stain with Anthony Hopkins is a great movie about a black classics professor (played by Hopkins) who passes as white and is (What will like this part) accused of racism by a student.
Gotta agree with ENY on the “what should a bi-racial kid” should look like. I don’t think Sam was being malicious in any way but its just such a stretch to say that there is anyway a biracial kid “should” look. As Gemini said, every single human being of any racial background is made up a completely unique collection of genetic material.
Good night all!
8)You remember the ice cream shop Jaahn’s (could be Queens too)
9)You don’t like to go into Manhattan unless you have to pick up a check. And you NEVER want to go to Jersey!
10)You think complimentary pickles in the diner is as expected as complimentary ice cream in Chinese.
You know you were born in Brooklyn when:
1)You say “hide and GO seek” instead of “hide and seek.”
2)You ask the store attendant in Ohio why they’re not stapling your bag closed.
3)You refer to the intersection of Nostrand and Flatbush as “the Junction.”
4)You took a car service before ever taking a yellow cab.
5)You’ve played stoop ball at least once and your first playground was an alleyway.
6)You know (or know of) the “killer” move in handball that makes the ball drop down the wall after hitting it.
7)You remember when you were glad you didn’t live in neighborhoods that you are now priced out of.
Snappy – Yours at 4:37 was wonderful!!

Snappy, you’re such a tease! You turn up when I’ve been away, and just as I sit down you leave!
Is it me?! ; )
Nite all 🙂
