My roommate's at it again with her nonsense. This time she said something racially offensive to me and I was so horrified that I could barely "fight back."
She was telling me about what happened to her a few days ago. The story goes:
She was in her car and tried to pull out around a blind corner. Unfortunately, someone was coming around the bend and that person had to slam on his brakes. My roommate sped up to get out of the way. (First point of idiocy, it's NOT a blind corner!! What is she talking about??? She just pulled out in front of some poor person. Oh well!)
So, the guy in the car she cut off gets mad and starts chasing her and honking his horn. She pulls into Dunkin Donuts, where she was trying to go anyway, and he follows her. He starts screaming obscenities at her. I'll grant her that the guy is a lunatic for all that, but what came next was shocking.
She said to me, "It was really scary. I didn't know if he was black or even Hispanic!"
WHAAAAAAT??
"black or even Hispanic"?????
I tried to tell her why that was inappropriate but she just got mad at me and said it was just part of the story. Do I give up now or keep trying to educate her?
Or do I come back with my own ridiculous sterotypical comment...OMGoodness! He could have been a white guy called by three names. He would've been a serial killer for sure!!
