If you find the conversation awkward, then you obviously do have a problem with it on some level. If you think that isn't telegraphed in some way, shape or form, then you're wrong.

As for my "young adults", do you think they were born that way? They weren't always adults. As for suburbia, I didn't grow up here, either. I grew in the Bronx and moved to suburbia as a young adult, so I know exactly what the inner city is.

Perhaps YOU have pre-established opinions.
