I Hate the Whites

Ok, maybe "hate" is too strong a word. But I really don't like them. The problem with the whites is first of all there are too many of them, and of the too many, too many more are little. They use up a lot of time and resources. The next problem with the whites is that they require a lot of extra services that aren't needed by other groups. There's extra care and concern that goes into many of the whites. To really get anything done with some of the whites you have to provide the same services twice just to get them up to basic results. It's all very frustrating. They just continue to look scruffier and older than every other group.

It annoys me so much that I've begun to discriminate against them. I save them for last. Sometimes I overlook them all together figuring, "I'll get to them next time." I allow them to languish, hidden behind a closed door, even after they've nearly been all taken care of.

One thing that really annoys me about the whites is how they so many of them don't stay together anymore. I see more singles than pairs these days. Some people have even started pairing whites that don't actually belong together in a misguided effort to force "pairhood" on those who just don't seem to want it.

Well, I think I've come up with a possible solution to this problem. I think I'm going to stop treating the whites like they're something special. I think I'm going to stop putting them in their own group altogether. I think I'm going to start mixing them in with the colors and the darks. That ought to solve it because soon there won't even be any whites. They'll all be grey, or pink.
