I went down to the Fishers area on the near north side of Indianapolis today to watch my #1 grandson test for his blue belt in TaeQuanDo.

As I watched I found that perhaps ordinary unadulterated caucasions were in the minority, or nearly so. I noted Hispanics, Asians, African Americans, African Africans and a rather attractive dark complected lady of no obvious ethnic group who was speaking to her two sons (whose father was not present but from the appearance of the sons he must have been of African extraction)....she was speaking what I believed to be French to them.

All of the kids or nearly all were of mixed racial makeup.

It was a very congenial group, nobody was boistrous or impolite and it gave me hope for this country which I love so much.

I remarked to the lovely Mrs. W. on the way home that the younger folks did not seem to have much in the way of racist thoughts. She agreed.

This area is a fairly upscale one, economically speaking.

The #1 grandson got his blue belt handily.
