accidental racism.
I think there’s only been two times in my life that I’ve been accidentally racist. The first incident happened when I was 11 years old, my friends brother said “if you eat too many carrots it can actually tinge your skin orange”, to which I replied “& if you eat too much shit you turn brown”… The brother immediately turned to me with cut eyes & said “that’s so racist” & stormed off… Man I felt terrible, you think I’d put up a better guard… But no.
Three days ago I was in Chicago o’hare airport arriving from a trip to Mexico, after spending the last 8 days there my mindset was stuck on Mexican life & as I passed through customs I’m looking for which bay will have my luggage when a guy asks me “where city are you looking for friend?”, after I told him where he directed me to the right area & I’ll tell you what not to say, don’t say “gracias!” if the guy you are saying it to is Mexican but living in America. Very suave.
