After sending out invitations to a belated elopement party, I was suddenly fielding calls from friends who wanted to wear saris but were worried that it might be disrespectful.

Yay for multiculturalism and yay for a laugh!

Many of us are as confused as everyone else. We’re a large group bound together by only one factor — we’re not white. So different things matter in different degrees to all of us, it’s near impossible to speak as one.

I don’t even like the term people of colour. The first time I heard it I thought of the Smurfs because they’re blue.

    I think of it this way.

    If you’re studying electricity, you can get the same rules from looking at lightning and the static electricity you get from rubbign a cat.

    When you study people, you have to remember no two individuals are exactly the same.

    I enjoy chatting with you.

      Thank you. I enjoy chatting with you too. In fact, most folks in this community are respectful of each other and make interesting contributions.

      And you are right, no two individuals are the same, even if they’re twins! 😃
