Yes.

Maria. I just met a girl named Maria. And suddenly that name will never be the same...

Is there something bad I don't know?

This couple was very nice, only he was born in Puerto Rico, They have been married for a long time and they have twin grandchildren whose names are Gabriel and Elena and they are very proud of them. He has lived here for a long time and went to college here. He has a Spanish name and worked all of his life in IT. I thought he was a very nice person, particularly too because he is a very close friend of a dear friend of ours.

He is a U.S. Citizen, pays his taxes, votes, is a responsible and very charming person. What am I missing? I was thirty before I met a person of Asian descent and forty before I met a Native American, and in my thirties before I met a Mexican person. I'm from Ohio. I knew a lot of German people. When I was a very little girl there was some prejudice against German people.
