I grew up in Queens, and I think that did actually shape my attitude and outlook of the world. Also, my family never put a label on what we are, so it was never part of the equation for us as kids.
I'm half Dominican and no one knew what a Dominican was when I was growing up in MD , but now everyone seems to know one or is related to one. It was hard to fit in as a kid.
Not sure if this puertorican guy is around his 30's but, yeah, that was definitely a thing to shame African culture in the late 90's early 00's. Always thought It was corny. African people were kind as f. I always remember this African kid was the only guy who asked me to go to prom in h.s. Never forgot that. He was such a nice person.
I grew up outside of DC and it was similar to how schulz described it. My HS was about 50% Hispanic 20% asian 20% white 10% black. From day one in elementary school we had a bunch of different races and cultures intermingled. We obviously could acknowledge those differences, but it forced you to bound with kids for reasons other than a shared race or culture. However, as a white kid without parents entrenched in a particular culture I sometimes felt like I was on the outside because I did not know what I could directly tie my identity to. Hispanic kids were el salvadorian, ecquadorian, asian kids were Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese etc. Then I'm just like white... but I truly loved it because I feel like I grew up not as fixated on race. I grew up getting to know people for who they were not just their cultural background.
Andrew, I’m an outsider. I grew up a Mormon Fundamentalist, always felt out my element. I have 1 dad, 4 moms, and 44 siblings. True story. I’m considering moving to Manhattan. Can we hang out?
Same, I grew up mocking African cultures. Now I am deeply fascinated by the different cultures, but I think Black panther has piqued and pushed people to embrace African cultures more
I’m Persian/Indian and I took this mixed white and black chick to the movies to watch black panther .. ahh great times , that aside movie was really solid I loved it
Idk man… I’m first generation Laos American, I’ve never wanted to go back. I embrace my culture but I don’t want to visit my roots. It’s full of corruption and my parents escaped genocide and that whole situation for a reason. I let them worry about that, while they hope our family succeeds in America. I’m American first, Laos second.
Vegas is a massive melting pot. People from all over the planet are here working. I have grown up with people from every country and continent except for maybe New Guinea and Antarctica. You also forgot the best thing about different races rubbing elbows; the food! I wouldn't know how dank Thai or Caribbean food is or learned Krav Maga and Jitz in any other city besides that shithole NY haha
Girl the south is not more diverse than New York what are you talking about? Maybe more so than in-state but not the City at all. Not from NYC but I’ve been there plenty and I swear you can find at least one person from every nation there. NYC historically and even present day is where most immigrants start in America, theres far more people from all over the place than there is down south.
the South just has more black people, but NYC has everybody. The most diverse place in the South, from what I've seen, is a city in Atlanta called Sandy Springs where they have a lot of black mixed with white and some Indians. Other than that, it's NYC.

Now I know why this American guy knows so much about different cultures at such a young age
Its New York, not much to figure out

Also a Rez kid going to school in a big city with no friends or family no one that talks your language n culture.
Orlando diverse af
Alex I was the same Nigga
Hinduism has the best stories!
Uh oh- here come the New Yorkers smelling their own farts again (says a born New Yorker raised in the South, which in general is more diverse than NY)

The South definitely not more diverse than NYC… at least not in the per capita sense

I see you got raised with that south education
@@mgm8075 ever heard of Houston?? Or Northwest Dallas??
