[QUOTE="GorillaG, post: 4346534, member: 49083"] Half??? LOL, my buddy went through a very similar experience. He was a USMC recruit in the same era as you. He was raised in a tiny town in the panhandle that was so small the only pharmacist in town was also the soda jerk at his pharmacy and when a little bell rang he would walk through a door into the adjoining building and become the U.S. Postmaster! My buddy had never even seen a black person in the flesh until he went to boot camp. His mom sent him a care package after boot camp one of the things she sent was a can of Brazil nuts and one of the black recruits had never seen any and asked him what they were. He only knew them by one name and before he caught himself he answered the question the only way he knew how...it didn't go over well... [/QUOTE]
