You have to understand... my father isn't very... worldly. Hasn't traveled outside the Americas. Grew up Christian with a racist father in a predominantly white logger town. He's a hard working family man, who worked 70+ hours a week to provide for us. He's an amazing, wonderful man, but his views of the world are obviously a bit skewed and I generally attribute that to his upbringing.
