Hey, remember that time George W Bush sent us all checks?
Good times.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
did I link this yet?
people in the U.S. tend to overestimate how many Jewish people, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos there are in this country.
Like by a whole lot.
People who are college educated tend to do better, but the overestimation is probably fueling some of the racial bias "down with welfare" bullshit.

Or, you could be like me, and make a point of living in a diverse area. I have no idea what the demographics of various ethnic or racial groups are in the US, and based on what I see every day, I am likely to wayyy over estimate.

I'm working on my self-assessment, which is leading to crippling anxiety.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm in the ER and I'm terrified because I don't see anyone I recognise yet, and I'm angry at everything that made this a daytime (slow) visit and I threw up in the five minutes I was home before I came back out...and a lot of ands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, ita. What a clusterfuck of getting home. I hope the people who treat you, actually treat you.
Or, you could be like me, and make a point of living in a diverse area.
You know how rare that is in this country, right?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
java,
but if you look at the chart, the overestimation is nation-wide and not necessarily based on what region of the country you are in.
