Sure, I'll join you with my troop! Tha...@Lou<br /><br />Sure, I'll join you with my troop! Thanks to my husband's genes, we are a bunch of half-Puerto Ricans over here. We will definitely add to your very diverse BBQ :)<br /><br />We used to live in Monrovia, above Foothill right at the base of the mountain. I loved it there! I love how the homes are all so individual. Down south here they are all cookie-cutter homes. Blah. Each one looks like the one next to it. I like the "newness" of the area, the parks and schools and all that, but I wish our houses could look different. It's not too much fun looking like everyone else. Yep, that's right - I like a little diversity! In people and in the look and design of houses :)Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-60085171599208423732011-11-18T00:12:52.354-05:002011-11-18T00:12:52.354-05:00Yes, you are right about this Cranky.

I feel very lucky to be living in such a wonderful place and very unfortunate to live next to such narrow minded people...<br /><br />I have suggested that we have a BBQ and invite as many Mexican, Black, Yellow, Purple and Sky-Blue Pink people that we know - and of course make a point of not inviting our bigoted neighbours, but make sure we make lots and lots of noise and really upset them..Would you like to join us?<br /><br />I am wondering if she is also prejudiced against some of our wildlife too - after all at the moment we are being plagued by a raccoon! Perhaps he has too much colour too.<br /><br />Sorry, I need to shut up now!<br /><br />Lou :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-33841452179168603702011-11-17T20:17:01.177-05:002011-11-17T20:17:01.177-05:00RTs---Are you prejudice if you think Italian women...RTs---Are you prejudice if you think Italian women are good cooks and Italian men are good lovers?

I seriously doubt anyone didn't choose answers B for all of them. <br /><br />Regarding the comment above mine....Sierra Madre near Pasadena? My husband is a fire fighter for the City of Pasadena - both very colorful areas:) The world would be a dull place if we were all the same. I can't believe your neighbor's gaul. It's one thing to think that way, but quite another thing to say it out loud.

Some kinds...I am most definitely guilty as charged! Some kinds of prejudice are just crazy in todays society though. we have an affectionate name for one of our new neighbours - we call her Mrs B. when S firs tmove dinto the house she came and introduced herself to him and was asking about which school the boys would go to when they arrived. S told them they would be going to the middle school in the town - it's a great school with a rating of 9/10 - what more do they need. s was promptly told by Mrs B that we should consider sending them to one of the private schools in the area where "there was a little less of the colour". S was gobsmacked, Sierra Madre as it's name suggests is pretty multi-racial, in fact as I look out of my windows, I can see neighbours who are Mexican and those who are Vietnamese. How can someone with the mentality of "less of the colour" survive in todays society - now you know why we call her Mrs B - B for bigot!<br /><br />I have only spoken to the lady on one occasion so far, and I shall not be rude to her if I when I speak to he again but she is not one of those people who will ever be top of my Christmas Card list. I am looking forward to embracing the new cultures around me - doesn't she know that California was originally part of Mexico and was stolen from the Mexican people...<br /><br />Can't be doing with narrow mindedness, but prejudice - yes I am guilty of that, same as everyone else!<br /><br />Have a good day<br /><br />Lou :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
