“Get out of here, Adam! You don't judge people. We're not a plural, or some big bloc, all acting and feeling and saying the same things. You judge individuals. Anyway, it goes both ways. I've got family friends who think all Anglos are drunk wife-bashers slumped in front of Springer with a stubby in their hands." "Are you serious?" "Yes. Dead serious. Should I make an excuse for them? Oh they're allowed to think that. After all they've never really had a conversation with a sober Anglo. If it sounds so ridiculous for your background, then why doesn't it for ours?”
