That reminds me.

That reminds me a) Does my idiot roommate ex-roommate roommate again (Yes, Marius, I smelled your stinky stink teleporting ass this morning) need donations and b) I dunno who picked that lemon-scented stuff for the floors but, can we get another one? Because whatever that stuff was makes me want to stick Forge's whirry drill thing up my nose and remove the parts for smelling stuff.

and with absolutely nothing in common - we have no culture. no language, no beliefs, no religion, nothing.

not an ethnic group. does not mean we aren't a group in general, but we are not that specific kind. not unless you come up with a way to create that common link - and without some sort of enclave or country of mutants or whatever, I don't think that's going to happen.

and for the record - I am not pretending, I am not blending in and I am not assimilating. I AM ME.

If you can't change the world, you change the word. "Ethnic" used to mean "anyone not Greek". It carried the connotations of "heathen" for centuries until people decided it meant something else.

Perhaps it's time to make the world realize that it's an ineffective and anachronistic division - and that to me is an admirable goal, one bigger than any type of social unity that's ever been accomplished in human history.

And I'm not suggesting you're trying to hide what you are or assimilate - you really can't, nor do I ever think you would. You're proud of who and what you are, and I respect that. You're out in the world, in a predominantly human college, unafraid to show what you are but also not using it to isolate yourself.

In all actuality, you're the perfect example of my entire point.

it's about time someone else recognized my perfection.
