Living In A Marshmallow World

I live in a marshmallow world. I'm a white girl, surrounded by white people. I don't go out of my way to avoid minorities, but I also don't seem to meet any. Thus, my world isn't nearly as diverse as I would like.

I actually would like to meet people with rich cultures. I'd like to expand my knowledge and world view. I'm not really sure how I go about that.

My neighbors that don't look like me are reserved to say hello. And some of my neighbors who do look like me, are kind of inconsiderate.

I think my plan of action is to befriend some of the parents of kids in Elijah's class. It's a start to changing my view.
