The White Girl: curious, ignorant, ashamed

Rebeca Osborn
Ambridge, PA

I grew up in largely white, upper-middle-class suburbs, but as a social outcast for different reasons, somehow most of my best friends through life have been non-white or biracial. It’s taken me a long time to learn to just ask questions of people who are different from me, and accept that if I look like an a**hole, at least I’ll learn something.
