11 hours ago ago from Huffington Post
When I was 11 years old and entering Middle School my family moved from Miami to Alief, a suburb of Houston. Only days before my first Christmas in Texas, a large high school student wearing cowboy boots and chewing tobacco confronted me. "You a Jew?" he angrily inquired.
