I was visiting with a fella who is originally from El Salvador. He left when he was 12 to come to California and has lived here ever since. He was telling me some about spending 3 months in a small town in Texas to visit a sick friend...said he got stopped in his car many, many times by police. On one occasion the cop gave him a ticket for going 2 whole miles over the speed limit. On another, the cop asked him if he spoke English. He replied: "I think so!!!"
It's SO, SO easy to take things for granted when we live in white skin.
