Tonight I was walking on the treadmill.  I know I know.....but I was.  Anyway I was watching the movie "Do The Right Thing" by Spike Lee.
I forgot that I LOVE this movie.  I saw it in the theaters when I was in high school.  Then of course I had to see "School Daze" and "Jungle Fever".  Man that Spike Lee was a genius.  He talked about everything.  And didn't apologize for anything.
I think it helped me, a Korean in white world, to understand where people are coming from.  Especially in that time of adolescence.  It was a time I was hanging out with Koreans being raised by Koreans.  I was able to see that prejudice was all around.  They called me "white girl" cause my family was white and in essence to them I was too.
Well....I sit here thinking about it while I fight my own power of fitness.  Yuck.  I hate the treadmill.
