I live in an integrated city so mobody notices me until I take off my shirt in public.

A black kid on a bicycle saw me taking out the trash yesterday and commented on my sick tan in a positive way, and I was confused for a moment.

Until I realized that folks will just look at me, see how brown I am and just assume I'm Cape Verdian or something.

I'm goddamn White as the driven snow Irish! Well, anywhere the sun doesn't shine anyway.
