Lol. Look at the prefix "Presby" and a lot will be explained.
My little foray back into the working world finds me in Rosslyn, Virginia. For all practical purposes other than crossing the river I am in DC. Washington has always been an international city, but seems to be more so these days. Just in our little group of about ten cyber security workers, (all US citizens, all with a security clearance) I am the only WASP. Next is a Hispanic from San Antonio, An A/E from Georgia, then an Ethiopian, a Kenyan, a Ugandan, an Indian, an Egyptian, and two Nigerians. Now mind you I work for a minority owned business, but the majority of the workforce was born somewhere outside the US. THE Egyptian is Muslim, and we discuss the quandary of good Muslims and extreme Muslims relatively often. There is another gent who has a Muslim father and Korean mother, but was raised Muslim. I am blessed in that both are comfortable discussing their faith openly and disavow the actions of the crazies. It would be a travesty to deny either entry just because of their faith, yet we have figure out how to protect ourselves from those like the California shooters.
