I made friends with a bunch of muslim girls a while back, then the group was all going to one of their houses for lunch.... "Sorry, you'd be welcome to come but you're white and a man..." - So I'm onside for the **** religion (racism) comment... When I'd walk down the street with one of them they'd be constantly checking to see if anyone they knew had seen them with the white man.
Anyway, why not just strike up a conversation about school, how you used to play together, how you should try playing together again now that you've outgrown your mothers racism..
And anyway, if you were long term friends with her I doubt you'd be sleeping together, which is what you really want. Pretty girls have pretty friends however.
