Not a week goes by, that I do not receive some sort of junk mail targeted to those of African-American heritage. Usually, it's pretty tame- something like a subscription to Ebony magazine, or a membership to "Black Expressions Book Club." The most recent offer, "King of Peace Nativity" figurines.
Cute, no?
It's a bit amusing- how my family name is Eastern European, and yet something as simple as a traditionally Southern black girls name can reel in all the flavorful assumptions. I also get, "Keisha? that's my Husky dog's name." (Note: always a husky, and the people are always from Alaska).
