Mixed World

Funniest thing I ever saw. I was on a date one afternoon and the Chinese restaurant, Yummy House, was still pretty empty. Anthony and I took a seat and after few minutes, we placed our orders. We talked as we waited for our food, and as we talked, I glanced around and noticed that there were only two other couples in the restaurant.

“Do you notice anything unusual?” I asked him.

He then looked around. “What the…!”

By the right wall, there was a Black girl and a White guy. Near the window, there was a Black girl and a Latino guy. Then there was us, I, of course am Black and Anthony was Chinese.

It was one of the rare moments in life where I felt that the proverbial melting pot truly existed.
