This weekend as I was driving shuttle bus, I was listening to 107.9 FM. This Billy Joel song about uptown girl (rich, sequestered, WASP and unapproachable) falling head over heels in love with a downtown boy (poor, Italian, Catholic and common) portrays how class and ethnicity unfolded among white ethnic groups years ago.
At the end of the day, we are all one, just people.Each is laden with talent and should spend her life maverizing. It does not matter if she is an uptown girl or a West End girl, or who she falls for as long as he loves her, provides for her, works and self-improves seriously and constantly.
It does not matte if he is a downtown boy or an East End boy; what counts is his solid, fierce commitment to becoming and becoming. That is a man to partner with for a girl, regardless of his color or class of origin.
