where's the ethnic strife?

I was asked to enter my zip code for this particular theme, assuming that the scene would reflect in some way my part of the world. This has not been the case. It's overcast, freezing, with winds gusting over 30 mph. Not exactly ice cream weather. Giraffe-climbing weather, maybe, though the wind is probably more of a problem way up there. But we do have a dude in an unseasonably light track suit who tends to hang around. I don't know what he's always waiting for, but I think he's related to my landlord who hates all minority groups except Greeks. The only reason I got this apartment is because the first guy who expressed interest was Egyptian. Google will really impress me when this theme depicts a Greek-Egyptian showdown in a wintry windstorm. Until then, I remain unimpressed.
