Me to Hen, after another Mini driver gave me the "hey, we're both Mini drivers" wave: When you see another Mini you have to wave.
Hen: She is driving that Mini because she is white.
Me, thinking I misheard him: What?
Hen: She is white and so she drives the Mini like Sophie*.
Me, curious: Do only white people drive Minis?
Hen: No.
Me: Do brown people drive Minis?
Hen: Yes.
Me: Orange people?
Hen: Yes.
Me: Green people?
Hen: Yes.
Me: Purple people?
Hen: Yes.
Me: Yellow people?
Hen: Yes.
Me: Red people?
Hen: Yes.
Me: Maroon people?
Hen: No.
There you have it. Maroon people do not drive Minis.
We name our cars, computers, and the like. Sophie is our British green Mini Cooper. We love her.

whenever Anneke sees an attractive black woman she says , "she looks like Princess Tiana"! which I can live with. so funny, these kids trying to sort these things out! I had to sort it out in the Deep South, which was definitely harder!
