yeah people stare at us everywhere and just this morning some waiter made a big deal about my obviously Jewish last name in this weird way, I was pretty surprised. I always thought Southern racism was exaggerated by northerners because I used to live in PA which is racist as gently caress and I've been all over Texas (which has just as bad of a reputation) without any issue, but man this town is stuck in some kind of time warp its a very strange place.

That's funny. Not saying it doesn't exist for you, but it didn't seem to exist for me.

As a white guy who also has an obviously Jewish last name, I didn't feel weird at all walking around the entire Charleston area with my Chinese girlfriend.\

Then again, I'm from here, and I tend to not go towards areas of town I feel to be crawling with douchebags (Market St. in particular). Maybe you were just in douche central?

She was a nubile young lass of Japanese origin.

I was the tall, mysterious stranger in the fedora and black khaki trenchcoat.

The night mist hung heavy around us as we slow-danced to one of Sting's later period offerings, a sumptious melody played on an Frankish lute.

She leaned close to me and whispered: ファーヅーナンドくん、日本語上手ですね。。。

I pecked her lightly on the cheek. She was my Tokyo Rose. Nothing could tear us apart.
