Last night i met my wife in town for dinner before we went home.
I told her about the conversation that I had with her dad.
I told her about the conversation, and how i invited him to the church Christmas eve play.
She said that she doesn't think that he will come still.
I looked at her and told her "I don't think you understand we are okay now, so much so that I could hear his voice crack and so was mine."
She smiled and said that we need to figure out how the play and dinner will work.
During that conversation, I told her of a conversation that I had with a co-worker.
It was about the term "Indian", there a build near us that we walk past when we go to lunch.
It says "Indian Center", he told me why isn't that offensive?
I told him that it a generational thing, that organizations put the wording together years ago.
That we have such things as "Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian Health Services", that will not change for legal reasons.
Although it for the newer generations to make changes for "Native American and American Indians".
- some insight that got me thinking from this post.
I then told my wife in fact I do the same thing with grouping people all the time.
When we are out some where i say "hey you guys", and it can be a group or male and female.
I don't think people take offense to it, but I realized that a generalization is a generalization.
- thanks again to this post for pointing that out to me.
. thank you everyone and God bless.
