Steven: What's your name?
Ernie: I'm Ernie. You're Steven right?
Steven: Yeah, I am. Where are you from?
Ernie: Maine.
Steven: Say that again? *raised eyebrows*
Ernie: I said I am from Maine.
Steven: But, you're black!
Ernie: So?
Steven: There's no black people in Maine! Only white people!
Owen: You ignorant idiot! Yes, Maine has mostly Caucasian people, but you got few poc there!
Me: Exactly!
Ernie: Yeah! I was born and raised in Sanford, Maine! I was the only black person in school, but everyone else didn't have a problem with me!
Steven: I was expecting you to be from somewhere down south. Like Alabama or something. Where there is a lot of black folks.
Shayla: You better shut your racist mouth up right now, Steven!
Carlton: Facts! And, aren't you from Mississippi?
Steven: No, I'm from Texas!
Ashley: I know that Mississippi is one of the most racist states.
Steven: You wouldn't classify me as racist would you?
Ashley: I would say, borderline racist. Sorry, Ernie. We apologize on behalf of Steven's ignorance.
Ernie: Its okay.
Brandon: Anyone can be from Maine, regardless of their skin color.
Iris: That's right.

A/N Steven is so ignorant! Ernie may be a black person, but Maine is his home! I wrote this story to raise awareness, that some white populated states do have some poc! Not only white people! Don't be a silent reader. Please leave feedback. Thanks.
