4. Are you a minority?
I'm asking because for us, minorities I mean, this is an almost every day occurance. I live in New York, for Christmas at my Catholic all girls school, some kids put up a picture of a Black Santa Claus. And another girl of Italian descent said...Some girl said, "There's no such as a Black Santa Claus. Black people should stay in the gutter where they belong." I'm Black and I have to say about 45% of the student body was a minority of some sort----and we're living in Manhattan. This is the way another teenager is thinking. And that's not the first incident of that happening or the last.

So I'm actually shocked, that you're shocked.
