He Doesn’t Know What To Down (Under)
(I’m on the phone signing up for unemployment.)
Worker: “What is your race?”
Me: “White, Caucasian.”
Worker: “Are you a US citizen?”
Me: “No.”
Worker: “Wait, what? Yes you are!”
Me: “Um, no. No I’m not a citizen.”
Worker: “But you said ‘white’ before.”
Me: “Yeah, I’m definitely white. I’m Australian with British parents.”
Worker: “You sure?”
Me: “Pretty sure yeah. You should see me dance!”
Worker: *laughing* “Well, I gotta put something for race, because the way they have it, ‘white’ is for US citizen.”
Me: “That’s… weird.”
(This is probably my 5th time signing up for unemployment, and I’ve never heard of this. I have no idea what she put for my race. But I’m kind of dying to know now!)
