Really? I've honestly never heard of that one. I always found that dudes begging for money at gas stations (or street corners, etc.) don't really seem to care much at all. Seems like they ask everybody. Interesting, but definitely a new one to me.
Exactly. People act like this is a normal thing that happens daily. How many times have you worked outside your house and had people come up to you asking if you could do some labor work for them?
Ha... Well, to be fair most of the drama is coming from everyone else. Look, I'm a white guy but I get the same sort of crap for being from Texas when I travel. But really? I just shake my head and move on. That's the best advice I can give. I really don't think she meant to be insensitive either, though I can sorta see where you might take it that way. Though if she wasn't a white lady (did you say she was African American?) ....I really doubt she was being intentionally insensitive. Everyone knows only white people are insensitive or racist. Kidding! Kidding!
EVERyone gets "the same sort of crap for being from Texas" when they travel. As soon as they hear where you're from. Race has no bearing on that one, I promise..
Maybe she was asking if you knoew of someone that did it and admired your house. Not sure why you looked at it more than that.
Stereotypes don't come out of thin air. It's like people don't label you as lazy if you're a hard worker right? I'm not saying stereotype is right, but you shouldn't be so angry because most of your kind (whatever it is) created the stereotype. It's like if you see a huge black guy on a dark road. It's just you and him. Would you approach him or run and never look back? Your brain would remind you that alot of crimes are committed by black people and you'd be scared right? If I were that huge black guy, I wouldn't mind if you run from me. It's understandable.
No. It just wouldn't be funny and you would make yourself a target. I'd probably knock the crap out of you. no offense taken though......
Seriously?? Really? If this is joke please let me know otherwise. . . SERIOUSLY?? REALLY?? Rocket River
