j-moriarty:skyliting:raggedick:facingthewaves:Hey kids, your favorite black barista here. So I am the only person of color employed at my specific shop (I live in suburbia and it’s a living hell), and today we had this as our trivia question (answer is B). I didn’t pick it, although almost every white person who came in assumed I did. I thought I’d share some of the gems I heard because of it:Older White Man who always answers the trivia every single fucking day and has NEVER complained about the questions: Who the hell cares?? They’re all idiots anyway. I hate this question.White Co-Worker: Couldn’t agree more!Me: *horrified silence*White Woman: Wow this is a tough one, I don’t think many people who come in here listen to rap music. Do I look like I listen to rap music? *laughs*Me: Well I’m pretty sure you don’t need a certain look to listen to music, just…ears. So yeah, you do!White Woman: Oh…sure…12 different White Customers throughout my shift: Did you write this question?White Woman #2: Why would you choose a question that only certain people would know?Me: *almost rolls my eyes into oblivion*College-aged white guy: Hmm… *turns to black guy waiting in line behind him whom HE DOESN’T FUCKING KNOW* You got the answer to this right? *laughs*Black Guy: *gives me the “can u believe this fucking cracker” look*Me: *gives him the “I know brotha just pray to the lord for strength” look*And much more. Y’all it was fucking wild to see white people so uncomfortable with something as simple as a trivia question that even hinted at blackness. We have questions about everything from fucking astrophysics to types of cheese but it was this one that was just “too much” or “outside their knowledge.” Soooo ridiculous and childish and…welp, racist.this is an important post5 seconds on Google will answer this, and the white people rather moan than look it up. And assume the only other black people in the room just mystically know. the only surprising thing about this post is that snoop dogg’s name is calvin -- source link
