When faithful Mormons get their own planet to rule over in the afterlife, they do this. Not many people know this.

I think I was like six years old when I talked to someone, and he said no hablo English, and I freaked out, because it was the first time that I encountered someone who spoke a different language.

Years later, Sesame Street would start showing segments in English and Spanish.

I wonder if having absolutely no white friends until I was 6 is why I don't give a shit about race. Everyone I knew back when I was living in San Jose was Mexican, Black or Asian. I have no memories of playing with any other white kids until my family moved to the central valley when I was 5 going on 6.

Yuuup, people don’t believe me when I say that my pasty white butt was in the minority growing up. I’m pretty sure my middle school in SJ was about 50% Vietnamese only, not even accounting for other POCs.

MJ had medical conditions and tried to make the best of them. It's also cool to let the man rest now.

My sister saw a black Cabbage Patch kid in Toys R Us and said "Ewww - burnt baby."

A kid in a train with her mother. Black person comes in, the kid goes "mom look, a monkey".

It's like the bizarro version of the Mormon story of the Lamanites.
