Terese Mailhot: Learning about beautiful and mysterious people

I had only seen white people on TV and in movies, so I was familiar with their ways. But nothing could have prepared me for how beautiful these mysterious people are.

In the summer of 2015, I was an anthropology student at the prestigious Devry University. I was making several trips with my guide to Starbucks when I came across a wise, ancient-looking man. My guide whispered, “That’s a bike-riding white. They’re magic, and can sustain tremendous amounts of heat without dehydration. It is said they shape-shift into lizards.”

With this information, I approached the magic White person, who wore peculiar shorts, which hid nothing from the world. These noble creatures didn’t know to be shameful of their bodies.

“I’m from New Mexico,” the biker said. “My name is Randy.”

“Teach me your ways,” I said to Randy.
