Culture

Sometimes people get the hell on my nerves. Some people mean well but are so patronizing despite themselves. I saw Julie at church Sunday. It was good to see her. Tatiana was excited to talk to me about the dance because we had a blast on New Years Eve. Julie asked Tatiana if it was part of her culture. Tatiana said no she likes to dance but her mother doesn't. She said something similar to me in Logan. She doesn't mean to be offensive. She just has a naturally pretentious attitude and comes off as thinking she's more intelligent than the little brown native girls. Tatiana is from Brazil. I'm glad she answered that way.

Even if I enjoy dancing that doesn't mean it is part of me just because I'm Poly. People tend to treat me like I'm a talented dancer because that's not threatening. It would be nice for a change to be treated as someone who is intelligent for a change. BUUUT because I'm brown the assumption first is that I'm stupid.

I love my EMZ. I can''t miss a class. I just love it.
