Exoticism of Culture
Whether you are white, black, brown, a person of color, mixed race, or any other classification of race, you’ve most likely experienced the exoticism of a culture.

Conformed Behavior of Girls in NYC (and basically everywhere else!)
We live in a city where girls are taught at a young age that it is okay to verbally abuse others.
