Some awesome shit happening to you man, enjoying your journal.
yeah man it's really fun to pull these cards on people who have clearly pull these cards on the regular. (hope this doesn't break the rules but i'm gonna describe an experience i had 2 weeks ago)
so on sundays i manage people who do (court ordered) community service at the AA club. i was talking to this one hood black guy who was doing community service. we exchanged light banter back and forth, and then he asked me if i knew where to get a job. I said "there are restaurants all over the place man, I can point you in the directino of a lot of them, but since you live 45 minutes away, I don't really know of anything in your area"
him: oh restaurants? no i was talking about something like gas stations or convenience stores.
me: that's racist and ignorant. Just because i'm indian, you think i know gas station owners and convenience store owners? (I was very clearly being facetious, even emphasizing faceitiousness by inflecting the tone with which i said that)
him: *blank stare*
him: *caught off guard*
him: wait, no man. i didn't mean that. sorry dude.
me: dude i was joking man, i don't give a shit about that; i don't take myself that seriously.
That incident was notable because he wasn't the type of guy you'd look at and consider a soft and sensitive type. This is a gangster dude, who clearly has ties with some...people. It was also notable because I could tell he used the race card a lot, and when i used it on him in a joking way, it hit home to him; i wasn't trying to go out of my way to hurt the guy, but his reaction was just funny and i laughed about it for a couple days afterward.
