This is really sad , dude . <| sep |> All the stories I ' ve seen with him before JiM , he was just this prancing creeper guy with horns . <| sep |> Used to work out there . Could be anything from grant money used to fund someone ' s research to just monitoring the water table to checking for mineral content . Just data in and around the lake . <| sep |> Well said ! My gf ' s grandmother is Polish . She has not really kept in touch with the culture and just identifies as American , but I feel in a place like the US , a country often described as a nation of immigrants , knowing your heritage can really strengthen your identity . Personally as an immigrant of a few years in the states , the first few times I remember of descriptive terms like white , black , hispanic , asian , etc . being used were usually from crime reports or police blotter . And then on TV I ' d hear Caucasian , African American , Latin American in a different , perhaps more formal context . I mean Black Lives Matter isn ' t called African American Lives Matter . It ' s still confusing to me at times honestly . I ' ve caught uncomfortable glances from some people when I tried to describe a person I know but cannot remember the name of as ' the black guyhe ' s black ' along with other descriptions . USA is interestingperplexing as fk . Lol
