My issues with England

This is one reason why I'm not excited about England. It's Eurocentric. Yes its another country, but how different is it really from the U.S.? Many of our cultural nuances come from the U.K. I think Americans have more in common with the British than we do with the Japanese or even Italians.

Now this is me pulling the race card but I am a sociologist and we think about race. I'm not all excited about see the sites and the castles and everything because its all so ...WHITE...SO EUROCENTRIC. There I said it. And in that its not sooo different from what I've seen.

Not that I don't want to see England just because its something different and interesting to see. I do. I don't want to seem like a small-minded Black person. But this is how I feel.

Don't get me wrong, I am over the moon about visiting another country. (oh and we are going to Paris, too!!!!) I guess I really wish I was visiting Africa.

Hey, beggars can't be choosy!
