Dear god, that is so entertaining. : )

Thank you. I currently live in the United Nations of Crown Heights Brooklyn. A place that when the majority of the "mainstream" residents of the USA pass by (as quickly as they can) and all they see as an scary, "urban", blighted, "minority" area. And in truth in many ways it is.

But what I have learned to my great amusement is a thing that many "mainstream" Americans neither see or understand, that many (hard working, very well educated, successful, upwardly mobile) immigrants to the USA have dark brown skin.

Yeah, the level of ignorance in this country can be pretty startling. People make so many assumptions...
