You are using the term "whitebread" in a neagative way like it's a bad thing. Alot of races grow up only knowing their own. Maybe more offensive than racist.

Hope he gets to use them on Hillary. At least Rudy’s ads will be entertaining. Hope he gets to use them on Hillary.

It was an interesting opportunity to get to know different cultures and all. We had a community of students from Russia, of all places, when I went back in the late 90's to do Masters level work. Not black or brown, of course, but fascinating nevertheless and another mind-broadening experience.

To my recollection, the first black I had in any school with me was in high school. There were two in my class. One male and one female. They didn't make any trouble and neither did the whites. There was no need. I went to private colleges and there were a few more blacks at seminary but not many. I've lived my whole life in communities where blacks are rare. Now my wife used to be a librarian in Gary, Indiana. At one school, there was she, one other teacher and the principal in the whole school that were not black. Different world.
