Racism And Ignorance Go Hand In Hand
(I’m babysitting my three-year-old neighbor, and I bring him to a nearby park. A woman approaches.)
Woman: “How dare you!”
Me: “Excuse me?”
Woman: “I can’t believe you’re bringing your kid out in public like this! You’re setting a bad example for our kids! It’s like you’re saying that teenage pregnancy is alright!”
Me: “Ma’am, are you saying that I had a kid at age twelve?”
Woman: “At age twelve? You should be ashamed of yourself!”
Me: “Ma’am, that kid is my neighbor.”
Woman: “I’m not going to fall for that! You’re both Chinese! You look exactly like each other!”
Me: “Ma’am, I’m Chinese, but he’s Korean.”
(The woman turns bright red and stomps off.)
