If I hadnt known her better I would have felt the same. later after we met she said that she was more attracted to a white man because her father is light skinned and both her grandfathers were light with blue eyes. I guess I made it sound a lot worse. Huh? Sorry.

I am fairly new here but this is the way I see it. I am white and American and I am proud of being both. Here in Alabama you get called white boy a lot. Again, I am very proud to be a white boy. At my age boy is a complement also. Gringo refers to me being white and from the U.S. so I am not offended. I actually refer to myself when talking to my fiancee about me and her country and people there as "Gringo". She told me she wanted a Gringo for a husband so see that is a good thing too. Gringo is a good word just like White Boy. hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

Muchacho: That is correct. Dont go to downtown Birmingham. Southside is very bad. Everyone here is trying to move far out into the country to get away from it.

I live in Birmingham,Al and here is our report. Birmingham Crime Report General Information: Violent vs. Property Crime Rate: State: Alabama (AL) Violent Crime Property Crime City Population: 240,176 Murder: 85 Forcible Rape: 204 Robbery: 1,352 Aggravated Assault: 1,706 Burglary: 4,831 Larceny or Theft: 11,934 Car Theft: 2,809 Arson: 175 Data Source: 2003 FBI Report of Offenses Known to Law Enforcement Of course it is all a lot higher than that now. My fiancee warns me about Armenia but she doesnt know it's getting to be a war zone here. She freaks every time I mention going somewhere alone there. hahahahahaa
