These are the people who promote tokenism. Who pat themselves on the back because they have a friend of a different race (but not too different. They don't have an accent or wear silly ethnic clothes or have outrageous names), but still cross the street if too many people of a different race are gathered, if they're playing their music too loud, if they look like they're "in a gang".
I mean, if you act like that in my neighborhood, you'd be really lonely. The only people in my neighborhood I try to avoid are the crackhouses. And, actually, just certain ones. The crackheads nextdoor are really, really nice and polite to us. In fact, they're going to give us a kitten once their cat weens her babies.

I'm so confused. I thought we're all people.
