On Sunday night, I went to dinner with a bunch of students and teachers from Toronto. I was talking with one of the teachers about race and said that in Vancouver I felt that I was

  1. American
  2. Female
  3. Black
as opposed to here where I feel
  1. Black
  2. Female
  3. American

I’m speechless.

If this is the America we give our kids, I will be doing Charlie Sheen amounts of  birth control until the day I die.
