@cprevite My personal physician is Indian, and I give him a hard time about his accent sometimes. He just grins and he gives it right back to me and makes fun of my Midwestern accent. Of course, I have a pretty good relationship with my doctor, and we can talk about anything, as tease each other, or whatever. This usually occurs AFTER his serious diagnosis of my health.
The last time I saw him, he mentioned his neck was sore and stiff. I gave him a two minute deep shoulder rub and it perked him right up. It completely changed his attitude, made him feel better, and there wasn’t anything uncomfortable about it for either of us. I felt good to be able to help him, after all the times he’d helped me with my medical issues.
People are people, no matter their skin color, or background, or ethnicity, and too many people are pointing fingers instead of offering handshakes. Just because you point out differences in people, that doesn’t make you a racist. Some people are too fucking uptight. Lighten up.
