Response to Us and them

Looking around my daily life I would say I am not very in touch with the broad diversity of american life. I have always stayed within my comfort zone by hanging out with other people like me. I have also lived in the south my whole life, where cultural diversity is looked at differently than in other parts of the country. almost all of my friends/girlfriends have been people who are very similar to me and they come from a similar family background. although most of the people I associate with are like me, I still have good social skills with people of other races and backgrounds. I do not really care that i am not "diverse" because our society today talks a lot about diversity but no one seems to practice it. It just seems like a lot of talk people say to make themselves look better.

If I were thirty years older, I think I would be a little more diverse because I would have had thirty more years of experience interacting with people from other cultural backgrounds. I would have seen America's transition from segregation to non segregation, which would have greatly influenced the way I thought about other cultures.

If I was a music artist, I would probably be a very diverse person. As a music artist you cannot control who your fan base is nor do you care. if asians are the only people who like my music then i am going to do shows for asian people and love it cause i'll get paid regardless. that will also force me to interact with the people of other cultures which will help make me more diverse. If I was a musician I would probably be very in touch with the broad diversity of america.
