Yah.. this is. Thanks. ;]
Though, I have picked up on a grew deal of it from my husband. His own
personal perspectives. Prolly explains why I have become so hard-nosed
about some things myself. He feels like he's at the end of the stick,
so he's left with taking up sides by dissing other peoples that irk
him as well.
We used to live out in the boonies for awhile in 98, and he joked about
feeling like the only Korean in a 500 mile radius. He was serious
though, even though he had found a small Chinese community to get a job
in. We also learned the negative impact behind "redneck". So we moved
back to the big city. Indy's not all that huge, in comparison to LA or
Chicago, but it still has it's communities.
The Sunday Indy Star did a report on the black peoples in this city.
They tend to stick together, as the white, hispanic, and asian peoples
doo. There's a stretch across the east/central/west sides of the city
that it seems the black, hispanic, and asian minorities clash.
My husband works in a store that caters to the black community, and
often he hears how some (of the gangsta type folks) hate the fact the
majority of the black stores there are owned and operated by asians
(koreans, to be more specific). So hubby wonders why they are so lazy
they can't start up their own businesses? It's not the fault of the
Korean people that they have the knack of starting up a business that's
successful. Despite the complaining, the black people still come to
buy the clothing and beauty supplies.
But yeah, I agree with Sean. No matter how PC we try to be, everyone
has some intolerances toward others. It's just a matter of how one
acts around those they don't like. That's what starts and ends war...
