bigotry math

How can you hate 
the Taiwanese? How 
many them have you met?
Girl, please. There's twenty three
million of them back home, and 

I bet you haven't met twenty-three,

where you roam.
Yes, sure, some roam
and settle around. Near you, 

even maybe. Face to face
in a crowd, but how many
have you met yet? Truly?

So far? 

Enough sample size 
to fill up a bar 
on a graph you plot 
to declare all the rest 
same beans? Good 
as bad? Real hate?

Is that 
the paltry, vacuous 
make-believe thing hate 
means?
