Re: Venting Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Not much of a vent but it's something that's been bothering me for a while. I work at a fast food place in a pretty diverse area in USA. One morning a couple of older white ladies were ordering food. We can provide certain types of discounts if they pay with membership cards. So I asked them if they're paying with cash or card, and one of the ladies remarked "Obviously I'm paying with money, with real American money." That remark really stuck with me for some reason, nobody said something like that before and it made feel a bit miffed I guess? Is it because I'm brown? Or would she say the same thing to my white co-worker too? Idk I keep remembering this incident every once in a while.

She probably didn't say it to you specifically because of your race*, but she probably did say it because she is racist or xenophobic to some extent. I have heard a lot of stories from a particular subset of older white people in the US, who feel like they are ~real Americans~ and those foreigners/brown people can get out and they wear that on their sleeve like a pin and are really proud of it. They just say that kind of thing to people they encounter all the time.

*this might depend on what ethnicity you are or what ethnicity she read you as, though

tl;dr it would bother me too, and she sounds like a stuck-up piece of work.
