Yeah, hon.

I saw my first white person yesterday. He was walking down the street nearby work. I almost said hello, but that seemed weird. And if we'd been in the US, the way I looked at him probably would have been taken as checking him out, but it was more just of surprise than anything. It just occurred to me that there's a big yoga institute nearby...I wonder if he was coming/going from there. It's not that I don't otherwise know I'm not from here--I'm constantly coming to impasses with language, culture, etc. But it's odd that I don't really recognize that I'm white until I see another white person.
