I am very thankful that throughout most of my life I had the privilege of living in racially mixed neighborhoods, going to racially mixed schools and working at racially mixed companies and law firms. And throughout the journey of my life, I have had many different close friends, male and female, of different ethnicities (i.e., White, English, Irish, Italian, German, Austrian, Australian, Dutch, American Indian, Jewish, Spanish, Persian, Samoan, Japanese, Filipino, African American, etc.). This molded me into a well-rounded, open-minded person sensitive to all cultures and to all ethnicities. My wish for all of humanity is that people can learn to see others through that unique lens.
