Someones Culture
While reading and doing some hard thinking about something today.I read a post about someones culture and such.About how that particular culture was or is.It proved to me that there are still prejudices in this country today.One of my older late brothers had enlisted in the Army many years ago during wartime, and during that time frame he had met and wished to marry a young lady but because she didn't wish to move to the states and leave her parents behind they both went their separate ways.I did see a picture some time ago of her sitting on his coffee table of the many times I'd been at his apartment and she was very pretty. I thought to myself on how neat it would've been to have had some possible Japanese nieces and nephews.I would've been such a proud and happy Aunt. But it never happened.
I'm of mixed race myself.My late father who was born Native American had been adopted by a American Indian family when he was a small child cause his own mother who was white had given him up.
When I had learned of my older brother and the lady that he had wished to marry back then and if they obviously would've had any children should I had just had nothing to ever do with them or her even though they would've been my nieces or nephews regardless of their culture which their mother had originally came from?

However, they should never interfere with fairness.
One person who I am careful not to identify had remarked to be recently that 'our road' that is, a main road usually busy with with largely large and expensive houses [mine isn't]
I got such a fright at her further comment 'once you start letting to coloured people things go downhill' I smiled and walked on. She is educated and what you would call middle class and I had to walk on as I have to live very near her, and also when people think like that in their early 70s they aren't going to change.
Just one example.
Sadly, prejudice is on the incline.
I've witnessed the prejudices happening all over and have been happening everywhere.
