Today, a black lady asked me if I was racist. Very long... Okay, go crazy.

tl;dr? gtfo then

So I have this training thing this week with a morning class and an afternoon class. Two other people are in the morning class that are also in the afternoon class (plus me) After the first class ended I waited for the (black) girl to come out and I asked her what she was going to do for the break which was three hours long. She said she didn't know but she did not have a car. I said that's okay, I do.

So we went to my car and ended up at Panera. On the way there she asked me where I lived and I told her, and I mentioned how I hated the city and she said yeah you'd probably do better in a less diverse place. (Side note: I don't like the city because there is no grass, its loud, smelly, and there are too many people) I also mentioned that I liked Indian food because there was a place in the plaza. She said she was surprised that I liked 'cultural food'. At that point I knew she thought I was racist.

Once in Panera we started studying for our exam thing and this happened.
Her: Can I asked you a question?
Me: Sure
Her: Are you racist?
Me: ....No?
Her: Of course if you were, you wouldn't say yes.
So I stare at her.. And say nothing.
Her: When you all talk about asians do you group them together or put them into separate categories?
Me: Well what do you mean 'you all'?
Her: You know, White people.
Me: Uhmmm.. Well that question would be like me asking you if all black people like peanut butter and jelly. You can't answer that because you haven't met all black people.
Her: I know, but white people (blablalba, I forget, something stupid.)
Me: Okay.. Well I'll answer the question for myself, because that's the only person I can answer it for.
I answered it.

We stopped talking about race finally and talked about other less awkward stuff.
Then she asked me to drive her home. I said sure because I didn't want her to think I WAS racist..

So then after class

On the ride home, she starts talking about Jews (I mentioned I was raised Jewish) and then she asked me why Jewish parents are so overbearing. I was so farking angry at this point so I counted to three and answered. I explained that you cannot say that all Jewish families have overbearing parents, and that mine are not, but they do want what is best for me. This went on for a bit and I was soooo angry. Eventually the conversation slowed down and then we were at her house.

As I pulled up she asked me if I could pick her up and drop her off Mon and Tues.

I said yes

Yep...granted I would have tried a few times to point out somewhat tactfully Stick Out Tongue how wrong/judgmental and racists she was being...but if she went any farther in her rudeness I would have let her walk home..
I dont even think I would have drove her home from lunch...LMAO

Yeah...if you had refused to pick her up (its not like it's on your way) she would have said you were racist even if she didn't honestly think you are.
Iagree

To really mess with her, though, say "I don't like your kind of people." after a pause, add "You know, assholes."

But I feel bad because her taxi costs 15 dollars each way.
If I was in your position I would ask her to pitch in, but she'd probably call me a miserly Jew.

Can't believe we're at post #11 and no one's whipped this out yet.




For the record, I don't think UTR is a racist.

on the contrary (to what this girl alleges) you've shown a lot of tolerance.

Oh, I'm so going to Hell for laughing at that. (Well, I'm likely bound there for a number of other reasons anyway, but we can add it to the list)
