Not like “I went to school with one” but have had an actual friendship?
I’ve had a couple of conversations recently where people have confidently said things about the Black community that are ridiculously incorrect. The kind of shit where you can tell they grew up in a very white community and learned about Black history as a college freshman.
Disclaimer: I am white, but I grew up in a Black neighborhood. I was one of 3 white kids in my elementary school lol, including my brother.
To be honest, I’m definitely expecting some assholes to show up with “I once walked past a Black man on the street, anyway here’s my manifesto on racism”.
What’s the proper way to handle the eyeballs?
Either leave them in or remove them and make a special little side dish, according to my friend. I removed them and didn’t do anything with them and that was a waste of perfectly good eyeballs.
Most of the younger family members don’t like the eyeballs. They leave them for the older folks. But they will still proudly correct me to defend their heritage, lol. Fine, my ancestors were big on head cheese; you won’t find me eating it, but I’m happy it exists somewhere out in the world.
Sounds nasty, but I’ll try anything once. Reminds me of what my 2nd generation Chinese coworkers say about chicken feet and other unusual Chinese food. On the other hand, everyone who’s tried lengua says it’s good but everyone who hasn’t gets the ick.
