and he says (part
two)
and he says
you know the chinese
are taking over everything, right?
they basically own nicaragua
they love them there
the nicaraguans are letting the chinese
build a canal
so no one has to use ours anymore
and i say nothing
africa loves the chinese too
you know why don’t you?
diamonds, i guess
and he says
ivory
the chinese can’t get enough of that shit
and i say
right, right, all of the dead elephants
the chinese are killing them
or else they’re paying someone to
and he says
look around your country
the chinese are taking over america too
crowding our private schools
and our good universities
we have good universities in america? i say
and he says
what are you nuts?
a communist?
america has the best education system in the world
and the chinese are taking it over
because they want to rule the world
and i look at my co-worker who is chinese
she’s twenty-one years-old
she lost her dad when she was a kid
her mom just died back in february
she goes to school full-time
and every bit of money that she gets from this job
goes in the pocket of the insomniac grandmother
who keeps her up all night
she’s not trying to rule anything
but just get by like your average american
and he says
pretty soon they’ll be so many of them
that poor white kids will have to marry some chinese
it’ll be like an arranged marriage
everyone will be melted together
and you won’t be able to tell chinese from white
from black from indian from nobody
and i think
i know more chinese people and black people
than i do white people at this point in my life
the only people who’ve ever been cruel to me
were white people
so i don’t care if we all end up blue
with silver antennas
and he says
but look up that thing on nicaragua
some time when you get the chance
use the internet, kid
if you know how
because that’s where i get my information from.
