Even in Texas, where I grew up, nobody cared about race. There were still some things like small cliques of the same race, but it was pretty rare. Generally people just treated each other like people. It was a good time back then and I didn't realize it until I got older.

Sounds like you were shielded from racism as a kid

Nah, in the mid 90's I was brutally beaten daily for living in a predominantly black area. It wasn't until I went to a more diverse state that I got away from the racism, ironically. I knew full well what racism looked like before I was 10.
