For all its problems, I think the US–at least the Northeast–is still one of the best places in the world to be nonwhite. That’s not to say racism doesn’t exist here, especially if one is Black. Still….

I watched La Bûche last night. It’s a French film set during the four days before Christmas. It was entertaining and ended happily. I had trouble understanding the dialogue though, and I watched it without subtitles. I think I’ll rewatch it closer to Christmas, and I’ll turn on the subtitles at least once.

It’s strange, though, since I usually understand what’s going on when I listen to RFI. I guess the broadcasters really do speak much more clearly than is typical.
