I remember the time i found out that people on "the other side of the world" was awake when we were asleep, and vice versa and they had night and we had day, vice versa again. And for me the other side of the world was Australia and japan and all those countries, since I live in Norway.
Then i remember thinking that they must have a really boring life, because all the stores, the schools, and the places were closed at night.
Later i realized that the ones that own the stores and the other places also sleep when the other people in the country sleep... complicated, really =)

I'M 58 AND WHEN I WAS A KID BLACK PEOPLE
WERE REFERED TO AS : "colored people", so I thought there was a race of folks
that were pink, green, blue, red, orange
etc. I think this helped me to grow up
to not be a bigot!

I didn't see an Indian person until I was about 2 years old, the Pakistani gent in question was about 90 years old, and I thought that when you got old you turned black.

When I was quite young I remember seeing an old war film on the TV. There was a Chinese man who had been shot and because it was black & white I thought from then on, that all Chinese people had dark brown blood!

I used to think that Eskimo's actually always lived in Igloos, like that was their home and that Indian's lived in tents.....and I'm talking about the 1980's LOL!!

I used to think that because Chinese people were from China, Japanese people must be from Japa.

After one trip to the US side of Niagara Falls, where everyone I saw was Black, I assumed that the entire United States population was composed of Black people.
