Is that asking too much?
I’m a white American. A so-called Caucasian. But I think of
myself being of German heritage on my father’s side of the family. Czech (or
Slavic) on my mother’s side. And when it
comes to my love interest, I’m Italian. Yes, my amore (true love) is a
Sardinian. Bilingual. Italian and English.
My mother was bilingual, too. Czech and English. I’m like most white
Americans. Speaking only English. But hey, when it comes to political, economic
and social issues, I part ways with many politically conservative white
Americans. I’m more with the non-whites.
With the ethnic Asians, the Hispanics, the Blacks. Because I see too
many white racists. Much like Germans
were in the 1930s and 1940s. When they were hostile to Jews. Now I am afraid
that white Americans are becoming hostile to non-whites. And especially to non-Christians. Meanwhile, despite being lily white, I want
diversity and tolerance in my country. Welcoming non-whites and non-Christians.
Coveting a blending. A mix. Of all kinds of people.
Won’t bother me if white Americans become the minority. Doesn’t matter. When we
all work for the common good. Knowing. We are all in this life and world
together. Let’s act that way. Is that asking too much? --Jim Broede
