Hanson: thats only cuz CA has WAYYYYY more young black ppl than south africa
me: THATS NOT TRUE
south africa is a whole population of black people
Hanson: but CA is larger
and it has a larger population
and like 25 % of it is blacks
and theres also white ppl in South Africa
me: you are soooo wrong
just google it
6.6% of population in CA is black
Hanson: fine then
me: it took me like 10 seconds to find that on google
Hanson: okee
me: and 79% of south africa is black
Hanson: yeah but 6.6% of 40 million is still more than 75% of 4 million
me: where are you getting your number sfrom!!
hahahah
popul of SA is 50 million
lmao
Hanson: oh
never mind then
me: GOOGLE
Hanson: is my friend
me: apparently not since it lied to you
Hanson: well then its because CA has more gangs than SA
me: haha
nooo its nottttttt
its because the US criminal justice system
targets lower class and nonwhite people
Hanson: is better

Learning about cultural gaps in dance
me: we didn't get into dwx :( so sad
Sophie: :( i knowww im sorrrrry
but seriously you guys were good
they were kinda just not sure how to take the dance? cuz its so touchy and stuff
Sophie: like they kinda didnt know what to make of it/were kind of confused
and thought the audience would prob see it the same way i guess
me: did they want to ask us about it?
Sophie: well no i said it was like youre supposed to be vine and stuff
and they knew
me: okay...good thing we didn't do the boob-to-boob part for auditions
Sophie: ahahhahahaha whaaat lol

Sophie: but after they mentioned it and when i was watching with anna
their reactions were like
whoa.
