I'm a ginger and I *do* have a soul, thank you very much.

You know I didn't know what a ginger was when my daughter was talking one day recently about a ginger she knew. I had to ask her what a ginger was.

Nova Scotia is the capital of blueberries and lobsters!!! (or it's a perennial competition).

Hey, I learnt something today. Didn't know that about Nova Scotia. Don't know much about Nova Scotia other then I think some of my relatives on my fathers side came from there and then down to Quebec, Canada.

But if you want to believe stereotypes, believe all of 'em...............

I listen to hip-hop sometimes, but not most of the time. Some people claim, "I act white".

Hmmm. Everyone can tell I'm black, but only some can tell I'm Hispanic/Latino. Lots of fun when, for instance, Mexicans speak freely in Spanish in front of me, assuming that I can't understand what they're saying.

I'm 300 lbs, but can run up five flights of stairs without stopping.

I am also the world's worst basketball player (black man's division), but great at soccer.

I DO love to eat, and it shows, but most people do not know that I know a lot about Asian, Middle Eastern, Central Asian and European (German, Portuguese, Hungarian, Italian) cuisines as opposed to just soul food and arroz con pollo.

I look big and stupid, but I speak four languages and graduated from one of the top universities on Earth.

I have never tasted beer, smoked anything or tried drugs.

I have a teddy bear physique, a harmless demeanor and a friendly face, but if you insult me it will be better had you not been born.

Okay, I will define the stereotype of the Russian woman:

1)I love making my own money. I'm as far from a gold-digger as you can get and no, I didn't marry my husband for a green card. I already had one when I met him.

2) I don't ever wear fur.

3)Although I enjoy cooking for my husband, I could never be a content full-time homemaker.

4)I'm not blond, don't smoke and age fabulously.

Yes you do, dear.

So, in theory, if I **** you off, I should run up six flights of stairs?

Duly noted.
