Chris,

I consider anyone who says “aboot” to be exotic.

Julio,

Somehow the script got messed up and confused you for your wife. Just kiddin’ – you gotta go sign up for a Gravatar.

DD,

Thanks. Now if I could only do 1/50^th the amount of sit-ups as you can. (I’m pretty sure I can do more than HP though)

Been thinking about this minority stuff at el Oso’s. It’s a three part post on that and conservatives.

That is something I have found to be quite surprising in SoCal. Before I came down I was aware that the border would create some very different stereotypes, but never expected “for money and citizenship and I am looking for something exotic.” to be a popular opinion. Perhaps this is just naive of me, but until moving here I had never encountered the ‘exotic fixation’ (fact or rampant myth). I haven’t lived anywhere else in the US, but I am curious to know if these stereotypes extend to other parts of the country, or are just a result of the US/Mex border.

Interestingly enough, I get a little bit of the money/citizenship/whatever curiosity because my wife is 13 years older than I. I’m pretty sure I’m not exotic though. Haha.
