No, nothing like that. They knew they were female and we knew we were boys. But I got a taste of what it’s like to be an attractive female in an all-male venue like a military base or a comic book convention. I even dated a few of them later although we attended different school districts. It was like being Bobby Sherman.

Which is EXTREMELY different from the article at the top of this thread.

When I was 21, my family and I attended the wedding of a childhood friend of mine, with whom I had gone to grammar school with and our mothers met and became friends and had stayed friends through the years. That all sounds like something pretty "normal"...right? But that's just part of the story!

You see, my friend and her family are black; extremely light skinned, even lighter than the term "HIGH YELLAR" means. None of us ever gave race a thought, back then. :-)

Well, at the wedding, in the church, everyone else was.... varying shades of what is now called black! We were the ONLY Caucasoids in attendance.

It didn't bother me nor my family one bit.

It didn't "let us know what it was like to be the only blacks in a group of whites", either.

And I doubt that the other attendees even considered that we might be "sort of" black.
