DISQUS

Natalie · 1 year ago

Guilty white woman: However, growing up in Detroit, where the racial diversity is continually growing, I have some "car wash scenario" suggestions for you.

As you pull up and give the money to the car wash employees ready to "pre-scrub" your vehicle...ask em' how they're doin. Then emphatize with the fact that they are probably tired. Hand them at least $1 tip, smile, and tell them to enjoy their night, once they get off of work.

I grew up a block from the Dollar Car Wash (yes it only cost $1, but now in 2008 it's $2) across the street from "Woman Care" the abortion clinic. Incase the tip still doesn't make sense...it's basically, relate to someone as a person not as a race. Which, it sounds like you really want to do, because God made us all equall. Right?

Anyway, if you want to follow my husband (also named Justin) and myself as we explore cultural differences within various countries around the world, feel free to check us out: www.nomadbackpackers.com

We leave on September 30th to backpack to different countries around the world for a year or so. We know God will teach us a lot.

We would love to have other opinions, ideas, encouragement, advice, helpful tips, and more left as comments.

Thanks,
Natalie
