I got no sleep tonight, so I’m remembering all these stories from my past. Back in Canada, I met these two students from the US, twins. They were from a well-to-do East Coast family. Passionate Bill-Clintonites. (This was in 1999.)
These women were the biggest racists I have ever met in my life. It’s like they couldn’t open their mouths without letting out some racist barbarity. They trashed African Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans. They even had shit to say about Australian Aborigines. It was insane.
I obviously wasn’t friends with them but we were in the same classes. Once they overheard me telling my friend, “So I went to lunch with John and he told me. . .”
“You are speaking to John!” one of the sisters exclaimed. “Eww!”
“What?” I said. “What’s wrong with John?”
“He’s from Georgia,” the other twin explained. “You are not from the US, so you probably don’t know. Those people are all racists!”
The most hilarious part about this whole thing was that during the lunch in question “the racist Georgian” John told me that he’d just gotten engaged to his black girlfriend.
