Sure dona, but that’s looking backwards. Not long from now we’re all gonna be dead and our kids and their kids and their kids etc. will carry less and less race baggage b/c everyone is getting put in a big blender. It’s impossible to stop the process. Human movement has happened and it can’t be undone. Now all you can do is sit back and watch the genes mix. Look at any area of the world. Anywere. Whatever race mix is there now, they’re all getting put in a bix sex blender over the next few generations. Doesn’t matter at all how segregated it is right now. It’s just a matter of old generations and their baggage dying off.
“”Unless you’re physically intimate with someone, using their body soap in the shower is kinda grouse””
So when you were growing up, did everyone in your family have their own personal bar of bath soap?
We like to think like that (re race) Lechacal. But we know things are more subtle and complicated than that. I have often thought that although we have to quit pressing on the same bruises (to allow them to heal) that the reality of a very different racial reality DID exist and many of us grew up in a very very different world and that the old world exists in people’s minds and hearts, still.
wait nevermind i thought you said they had to bring them.

my calexico review:
okay i walked deep into the bowels of soho (wooster and prince) to try this out since people seem to rave left and right about it. i got there early, 1145, and it was already a clusterf-ck of a line. it wasnt even really a line, it was just a bunch of people standing around waiting for their food and ordering. you had to give your name :-/ and then wait for your order. fine, i guess it’s a good system (tho a bit invasive if you ask me and i was tempted to give an alias but i couldnt think of one fast enough on the spot).. i ordered the cheapest thing on the menu a black bean burrito (3 dollars). i was actually a little shocked they had something for 3 bux. however it was SO tiny im talking like the size of an amouze booshe! it looked like anything normal sized was like 8 bux. *f* that. it was also too sloppy to eat with yours and they didnt give me any napkins and i didnt see any plastic utensils so i was pretty much licking my fingers the whole time eating it and walking back to work. i did get the special “crack” sauce that people rave about, but i dont think i really tasted it. it was kind of bland in fact.
so i give them 1 start out of 5.

Re: NYTimes, the coverage on euthanasia and abortion rights for example (news analysis pieces, which are great places to show bias when “explaining” an issue to the public) have definately had a bias. I have been paying attention to this for years.
