Your 3rd bag of Reecies already.. inside you find the cosmopolitan canopy

The definition of a cosmopolitan canopy is basically places people can go that have a closer more intimate setting and have a wide variety of race among the people that go. I definitely agree that cosmopolitan canopies are important. They are important because they offer places where people can go not just to observe and be among people of all different races/culture, but they can also go there to be free of racism and can relax in the environment. For some people like myself it might be different to think of all the racism that occurs, because I am not one bit racist. But something we have to accept is the fact that there are racists out there, many of them, not just racists but counter cosmopolitans. The main example Anderson used of a cosmopolitan canopy was the Reading Terminal. In this environment there were whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and many others. He explained it as a place where people could go to relax, let loose of all the controversy of the city attitude and just enjoy and even observe. It was non-threatening. Places like this are important because it can help people understand people from another culture more, and not be so quick to judge. If you go there to have an enjoyable meal in one of the diners and you have racial views, and you are sitting shoulder to shoulder next to a person you are racist against, you might have a chance to actually talk to them in this close environment and maybe after this occurs a few times, start to change your mind about racism. It also allows an environment where you can comingle with other races without being judged. You are free to observe, chat with, or even talk about things you wouldn’t normally talk about in these environments. It is clear when Anderson mentions the occurrence of his Chinese friend’s trip on the bus that people of different race definitely do not get along and have certain places where they are not welcome. Cosmopolitan canopies are influencing people to have more of a cosmopolitan outlook. It is this cosmopolitan outlook that people take away from the experience that I would hope they bring with them to the outside world, and not just places that have this cosmopolitan canopy, but to places that do not. Can’t we all just get along? Lol
