It probably has as much to do with me as China, but yeah, bisexuality is more morally repugnant, dangerous, unnatural, whereas whiteness is a weird mix of exotic, stupid/ignorant, rich/powerful, deaf-mute, nontraditional/uncultured, and very other/outsider, which different people react to in different ways. Anyway, I'm not really afraid of people finding out I'm bisexual, although I think the reaction (in general) would be more negative. I don't find it as dehumanizing, which again might have to do as much with me as China. Although I will say I'm more comfortable with being white, blondish, blue-eyed, American, etc. than I used to be (like in middle/high school). Sidenote--one result of the conversation with Vincent was that he started noticing more how people treat me, how everyone says "Hello" (in English) to me and so on (that I don't mind so much until it starts to be like some fucked up catcall).

Anyway, I got your package today! Thank you :) :) I won't get to eat the chocolate till I'm not so sick, but I'll look forward to it, and it's probably for the better anyway. I'm thinking of putting the sprinkles on brownies (I have like six things of brownie mix) and giving them to the students. I appreciated the note, and I will put the picture on my desk. Sorry to hear you were sick too. Sickness all around... damn mountain brought my infection back.
