The children and grandchildren of the barber mentioned in this story are, I betcha, mortified today that their loved one was such a jerk.
Some of my loved ones and friends have had moments of real jerkdom during the last five years. Some even make excuses for, or downplay the depravity of, 1-6. Some support the anti-republican voting suppression efforts of the ironically-named Republican Party of 2021.
We must always remind our fellow Americans and our children that real Americans come in all skin shades, all classes, all income levels, all education levels, all religions and no religion, all sexes, all sexualities, and of all combinations of worldwide heritages. If you are a race, class, sexual orientation, or other variety of bigot you are on the wrong side of history. You might as well accommodate yourself with the future, because it's coming like it or not.
There are lots of good stories on this "Peace Page". Today is a fine day to share an old post and celebrate one of the great American heroes who happened to have been of Japanese ancestry.
On behalf of your children and grandchildren I beg you...
Don't be a jerk.
