I learned all I needed to know about predjudice while attending a yankee high school for a year, as a Southerner. My best Friend there was a Black Boy from Roanoke Alabama. We fought some decent battles together, as a team, no one else liked either one of us.
my childhood chum, who happens also to be a mixed-blood (Jack is apache/black), & i went to South Philly one time to eat a Dante & Luigi's (GREAT FOOD! you should go there.)
we parked his P/U about 2 blocks away & started walking toward the resturant. a couple of "delinquents" approached us & started calling him a "Tom" & "other things", because he had HEART OF DIXIE PONTIAC-GMC plate-frames on his license-plates.
2 "lads from damnyankeeland" NOW know NOT to "harass or bother" APACHES! (they are generally as fierce as their reputation!)
