My new friend, from what he would call an "all American" background recently revealed to me that he is wrangling with my Hungarian ethnic heritage, make that OTHERNESS, now that he's determined that I'm not as American as he!
I learned that he was doing a little internet research on the Hungarians in an effort to better understand me and have something to talk to me about, which is a good thing. Except that now that he has found out I'm from a Hungarian ethnic heritage he does think of me as "different."
I may or may not be "different" for other reasons, but I wonder, will it be that I'm "different" or that he thinks of me "differently?"
