Then at 16 moved to an all Italian area and talked people out of chasing people out of the neighborhood if they were other races. I knew how they felt... I do remember that Break dancing and basketball blended us all together.

Now I live in an all Spanish area and I get called "white boy" in Spanish at least once a week.
