You can see it within the means these teen-agers glance at one another; hear it in the manner they talk.
Savvy and Cristine come in love.
“I like every thing about him,” says Cristine, glancing affectionately at her boyfriend of couple of years. “their way, just just how good, exactly how caring, exactly exactly how thoughtful, just how good-looking and smart.”
Savvy is not any less flattering.
“small, modest, honest,” are terms he uses to spell it out Cristine.
“I always tell her whenever we had been ever divided, i might never ever find someone else like her,” says Savvy. He turns to Cristine, “Whenever I see someone looking that is good pretty, I always think about you.”
It is a shared admiration society for certain. However the few will not fundamentally have the admiration of culture.
Cristine Szabo is white. Savvy Soun is Cambodian. And in an age where prejudice will not be discarded along with “white only” signs and barbed-wire internment camps, teen-agers realize that interracial dating is certainly not one thing America has embraced.
