Diversity

There are many things that I am wondering about today.  I was thinking while i was doing an assignment for my cultural diversity class, that I do hang out with people who aren't just white.  See to me a white person is a white person. A brown perosn is a brown person. A black person is a black person...and so on.  I never held one higher than another, but it was strange for me to see that i do hang out with people from other cultural and racial back grounds.  The question posed from my instructor was "who do you hang out with in your spare time?  are you around mostly people like you?" I origonally wrote that i usually hang around white people. Well  that is not entirely correct.  I found out today that I hang out with people that are of different races, but i never noticed that.  I am part mexican, American Indian, Italian, French, and English. Wow what a mutt! lol And I love it! People that I hang with are mostly light skinned, but that is because of where i live, not whom i chose to hang out with. But they are still Latino, and Asian, and on and on.  That was so kewl for me to realize. I am happliy wrong. Yay. Diversity is a wonderful thing to celebrate. woot woot!!!
