I love your posts, especially this last part.. I find myself judging people based on where there from, those from the tri-state area are much easier to get along with, I guess since they get "it". haha I don't mean to but it's really frustrating when people don't get "it." Meeting a lot of the people here makes me appreciate Long Island so much, we're so lucky to have lived in a place where people are different colors and from different cultures and backgrounds and we think nothing of it, it's nothing new and not a big deal. I've heard so many conversations that include things like "I've never had a black friend before" or "I've never met someone who was Jewish until coming here" and I just don't understand how these people get by while being so sheltered.
re-reading this I'm not exactly sure if it makes sense but I'm going to post it anyway, that was 15 minutes of my life that I can never get back.
i think it has a lot to do with the fact that people from outside the tri-state area and even the northeast, at least to me, just seem really...well i don't want to be judgemental but they just seem really naive or just close-minded. and i guess it's not even from the tri-state and northeast. it's more like people that haven't grown up in or near big cities where they would be exposed to a lot of different cultures. i don't know. it's weird. you probably get more of that than i do though because i go to school in a big city. i know what you mean though. my roommate is from texas and she claims that she's near a city but a city in texas is very different than our perception of a city and the things that she says sometimes i'm just like ".......did you really just...like...forreal?" it's weird.
