The answer from No Dice was great though. A courteous response, but still lets them know where she stands.

I think this is a talent of No Dice in general. She gave the best response to the gas money comment.

No Dice is a guy.

Hahaha. Well, like Uffish, I apologize, but did not really feel like using "werf" or researching.

Mico, for the record, my mom is from Mexico and my dad is from Canada. Same general idea, though.

Yes, there's a problem when we are ONLY identified by a given characteristic, and I suspect being black in Utah engenders a fair bit of that. Like, perhaps, being male in a nursing program. Or being mormon in Europe. Or being Hispanic in....Utah. I would be frustrated if it was the only characteristic that people ever saw in me, or ever talked about.

But this isn't what we're talking about. We're talking about if it is EVER ok. And as long as we think it isn't ok to talk about it, we make it not ok to BE it.

Canada, the USA, psshhh whatever. (I went to Canada once, it was nice.)

Oh, that's what we're talking about? Well, in that case you and I are mostly in agreement. There are lots of times when it is fine to talk about!
