A Lesson in International Relations

My mother teaches people to be nursing assistants. Tonight she told me about one of her former students. The conversation started because my little sister took the nursing aide classes and was told numerous times that she looked like the kind of girl who would date black guys. We were laughing about this when she told me about another student.

He was standing at her desk, smiling as he talked to her. He was looking at the pictures on my mom's desk.

"Would you let your daughters date a black man?"

"Yes."

"A black man from Africa?"

"Yes."

"Okay. *Pointing to my picture* I'll take that one."
