Wow. Just wow. In all the years I spent in San Diego, I never thought of it like this. It does, however, take me back to the times I sat in line at the border with little kids cleaning my car mirrors (the couldn’t reach the windows; they were too small) hoping for a dollar. And the times I went with church groups to distribute food deeper into Mexico. I’ve always known I was an example of white privilege, but I’ve always looked at it from the point of view of black America, and barely looked at it at all lately, I’m embarrassed to say. Thank you for reopening my eyes. You’ve given your parents a lot to be proud of.
