| 170. I grew up with that term... |

... and I'm from Utah. I didn't know that they were actually called Brazil nuts until I was at least ten years old or more.
I grew up with lots of inappropriate sayings that I didn't learn were inappropriate until I was older.
The first black person I ever saw was a woman from Nigeria who was going to the local college. She wore customary Nigerian dress and carried her books on her head. She was the only black person at the college at that time. I was nine or ten when I saw her.
There were not any black kids in any of my schools, until I went to college. My youth was sheltered in that way. My first roommate was black...
Such is life.
