If I cared I would ask if he has any “Freinds of color.”
Folks like that will tell you they have many such friends. Like the barrista down at the local Starbucks who knows him by name (but only because she knows what he always orders). Or the dear Spanish-speaking friend who maintains his lawn. Neighborhood friends? Yes, there’s the cute multi-cultural couple born in two different countries—Canada and Spain. He is fluent in French, I’ll bet. He used it on his “last” trip to Haiti where he had a marvelous time with a colorful local group at a shindig on the beach—at the hotel.
