Aw, that's not corny, man, that totally makes sense you'd feel that way! I'm glad that you learned that lesson at a young age, from both those people... I wish I had. Thanks for sharing. :)

As an old dude now, I realize how fucking lucky I was growing up in the small town I did with no real, blatant outward prejudices. Given that it was rural south Missouri in the 80s - 90s, I have no idea how that happened.
Or maybe I was just blissfully oblivious.
