Is it wrong that, even though I thought it was a nice idea, executed well, and nicely lyrical and all, I couldn't help but notice that there are apparently no black people who like to talk about love in California and that every hip white man wears the same glasses?
I assure you, there are no African Americans in California - Only Latinos, and all white guys wear hip glasses because they hand them out at the border where they check for fruit or when you get off the plane.

This is in regards to comments about the lack of people of color in this video.
There is a Filipino man, a Japanese woman and many Latino people mixed into this video. Unfortunately, there is a lack of African Americans. There is at least one male in here with an African-American ancestor, but its not obvious. There might be someone in here who is from the Middle East? I do not know this for sure.
However, I just had an interesting thought. Because you're not alone in this question, I too for a moment of hmmm...
Were we concerned for people of color simply because the color black seemed to have been missing? Or perhaps because everyone in this video spoke in perfect English?
At my wedding, I had one (deeply faithful Christian) friend read from the bible (that passage, actually) and my sister (cheerful agnostic) read a Native American wedding prayer.

Who says the Religious Right are the only folks who get to cherry-pick the Bible?

I hoping lightning strikes mine - even money, any time I'm in church - because that would be a blessing from both Zeus and Thor... right? Right?
