Culture Schlock

I am a white woman approached by a white guest in our lobby. She engages me in conversation, and it soon becomes apparent she’s trying to make it very racially charged.

Guest: “They’re just trying to take away our culture! Doesn’t that bother you?”

Me: “Well, ma’am, I’m really not worried about anybody coming for our trailer parks and chili dogs.”

Her silence was interrupted only by the receptionist snorting behind the desk, trying to contain herself.
