	The busing flare-up in Boston in the 70s sure woke a lot of people up around here.  And it changed things in a very real way.  There's still a lot of ignorance but there's a definite stigma attached to that ignorance now.<br />

	My own city has had an influx of Asian immigrants over the past 20 years to the point where a quarter of the population is now Asian.  If you had told me 30 years ago that was going to happen I would have predicted an immense amount of ill will, but I've been pleasantly surprised by how smoothly it has gone.  There's been grumbling by some local dingbats but that hasn't been reflected politically at all.<br />

	And it sure has improved the local restaurant game.
