Busted

...Speaking of "race" and similar annoyingly-major trivia:

Got me.
...[T]he haircut-with-bangs is an important symbol that a female has completed her transformation from a nerdy girl to a cool woman. In fact, if you went to high school with a nerdy white girl who moved to a big city, there is a good chance she will show up to your high school reunion with this haircut.

Which I did.

From Stuff White People Like, written by clever alien anthropologists, near as I can discover.

Ego vadum perussi vestri prandium


"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

Henry David Thoreau
