My adopted father nicknamed me Mowgli, which in retrospect should have tipped me off that he was racist; however, at the time, I was 4 and not yet "woke"

He had some really wild and weird ideas about what was appropriate to say to a small child. I remember a conversation we had once about OJ Simpson marrying a white woman. This was before the murder trial. I was born in '84, so we have a window between 1988 and 1993 when this might have happened. I remember it because it was so fucking weird.
