This is such a heart-warming story. It's good that neither party is hung up on race. You miss out on bonding with good people when you judge them unfairly.

Very nice story.

But you know the deal, doesn't fit the 'narrative' some folk like here.

Hence, the sound of crickets chirping...

Great story.

We have so many race trolls around here angling for the worst in people to push their poison.

We need more of the everyday truth about people acting decently to provide a balance to the hate-peddlers.

I'm really sick of it....

The thing that is also disturbing is that It's whites (usually who start these threads). I guess city-data is not popular with ethnic groups.

Gee ernie, way to be a complete a-hole and blame one ethnic group.

It's actually people like you Ernie that seem to think it's one particular pigmentation that is bad.

WTF dude!
