Re: Foods and preferences

Yep. The most consistent occasion we have significant trouble with racism is in ethnic restaurants. They look at our skin and make wildly inaccurate predictions about our diet. Doug has a hard time getting his food picante enough for his tastes. People stare at both of us when we order the goat. If I order tongue taco in Spanish they ask if I know what it is. And let's not forget the Chinese place that didn't want to give us chopsticks because they were afraid we'd hurt ourselves. 0_o

But some places we go are awesome. At Yanni's he was talking to the Greek-American family next to us, and we just sort of got rolled into the conversation.
