As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beloved Asiatic Black Family!

I happened to pass another Black woman here in Malibu and I greeted her, “How are you doing?” She said, “Fine” and that was it.

I immediately knew she was from L.A., because that is the way I used to respond when faced with the same question.

But now that I’ve grown and matured and traveled, met with many people, I have learned that a better response is, “Fine, and you?”

It was not quite rude, but she did seem rather “snobbish.”

So, Sisters, let’s consider the other person, when we greet each other, I mean it is only common courtesy, to ask how they are doing also, right?
