THE ONLY BLUE EYES ON THE BUS
Today I found myself on a twenty minute bus ride to a village out beyond Vellore. As we bumped along the road in standing-room-only conditions, I became keenly aware that there with many ebony eyes staring me down, and mine were the only pair of blue eyes. Every now and again I am struck by how much of a minority I am here. I get stared down everywhere I go. It does take some getting used to.

Great point and post. I like to think it's a good thing to experience being a minority some where. Something every one should experience but unfortunately we don't all have the courage to do so. It will undoubtedly give you more empathy and sympathy with those who are minorities--even just outliers in a church fellowship or minorities in the national population -- when you go home or back to where you are part of the majority population. :)
