Today, I strolled around downtown Greenpoint, admired oxymoronically tanned Polish girls, and bought meatloaf from sausage-fingered women in hair-nets.
I always thought Slavs were naturally rather pale. The Poles in particular resonate to me as blonde, pallid and over-tall golden people. I think this view is reductive, based on an upbringing sheltered from true diversity. I mean, it's mostly accurate, but it excludes the whole sub-genre of heroin-shooting Eastern European cat burglars.
The more I realize that, the less oxymoronic tans or swarthy behaviors among those cheeky Slavs seem. But the culture-shock is still there.
