I’m not white
But I do hope you’ll get over your hatred of them
I try to be color blind. I believe it’s the best version of the human race that we can be, when it doesn’t matter what color your skin is, or which country you originated from and what faith you identify with. What should matter is what you do and how you behave. I try not to care what you believe or what you preach, except if I like it then I want to praise you. I watch what you do and I measure my experience as positive, neutral or negative. I try to gravitate toward people with whom I have a positive experience, and away from those who trigger a negative experience for me. I can’t fix them, nor do I have any business telling them what to do. I can choose to spend less time with them. I hope to spend more of my life with people who inspire me, teach me, and in whose company I feel good.
I’m Irish, born in Kenya. I grew up in Italy and then England, before I went to live and work in Switzerland for a few years after college, then immigrated to America. I speak three languages and have visited 50+ countries. I love this messy wonderful planet we live on.
I may look white, but I’m not. I’m a mixed bag gypsy who has had the good fortune of living in several countries. I fill out HR / government type forms and I always check Race = Other [ ] because I don’t identify as white. Let’s be…
