If you're not watching MSNBC's "Everyday Racism in America," I recommend you turn it on

[DURHAM D]

9. I just watched the Chinese Exclusion Laws program.

I am embarassed at my ignorance. It is a must see program. I just checked to see if it is going to be shown again but can not find a listing.

I have a neighbor who has a granddaughter who is half Chinese. My neighbor is completely oblivious to the fact that her granddaughter is experiencing childhood differently than she did in this all white mostly German American very red state. The child comes over and talks to me all the time when she is staying next door. I think it is because she has met my neice (by marriage) who is Chinese. This child is beautiful, brilliant and an artist.
