Default Racism in the USA

YES! Distinctly less each decade.
I live in the city of Galveston on Galveston Island, directly south of Houston.
It is the most diverse place I have ever lived. 55% caucasian. 27% black. 18% Hispanic. I love it. Our previous home, Vermont, in New England was the whitest state I have ever lived in. Galveston is uniquely a Gulf of Mexico
culture. Relatively slow. We ride old fashioned bicycles with fat tires and coaster brakes on the seawall. People are very friendly. There is a distinct lack of the hectic rhythms that run America in Galveston. They can be found if you look. Most Galvestonians do not even try to pronounce PLAGAKIS. So, I am Mister Jim and my wife is Miss Victoria. I find it charming.
Lately, I have been called for 2 part time jobs in Galveston. An independent and CVS, a chain. I am happy in Texas City on the mainland. My commute is 20 minutes and I always have two technicians working with me.

Come visit, ADMIN.
