you need more friends of color

why don't you have any

black friends

on facebook,  my lily white

girlfriend

Penelope asks me,

or asians,

or native americans.

my eyes widen.

i don't know, i tell her.

yikes.

i guess i should work on that.

diversify.

yes, you should, she says.

i have six

african american friends,

and two friends

from china. i even have

a Muslim friend.

really?

how did you get them?

it's who i am, she says.

i love all people.

so do i, so do i. 

it doesn't seem like you do.

you don't have one person

of color

on any of your social media

platforms.

or with a different set of beliefs.

zero. you should really

work on that.

you really need to evolve

if you want to remain

my friend.

okay, okay. but

i follow Obama on Instagram,

does that count?

no.

okay. okay.

it will be my new year resolution.

when the waitress

comes back i'm going to ask

her to friend me

on facebook.

i think she's Armenian.
