General Discussion

But lately I do watch when I'm in a restaurant, just seeing what other people are like around me. And more often than not, this old white guy is in the small minority.

I was at my favorite Mexican restaurant the other day. From across the room I Heard a Voice that I was sure had to be a good friend of mine. I could not really see the two gentlemen at that table very well. So I just decided to walk over and see for myself. I was a little bit embarrassed because it was not my friend. But we had a good chat and soon people at adjacent tables were joining in the conversation. That meant strangers that were black, white, African, Asian and of course Mexican were all perfectly at ease with one another.

We don't seem to use the term "Melting Pot" these days. But that is what America is about and always has been.
