Getting tired of being white (7/11 trip report)
 

I went to 7/11 today. I had a good little Larry David moment. At the door as I was leaving, there was a black guy, 25ish, who I stereotyped as 'empowerred' (I won't go any further with the stereotype or how I arrived at it). We brushed shoulders. This was the conversation:

Me: "Excuse me brother, my bad" (brother or 'bro' is standard speech for me, regardless of race)
BG: "Don't patronize me. I ain't your brother."
Me: "Are you serious? You gotta be kidding, right?"
BG: "[insert some random pride-based speech]"
Me: "Sorry, next time I see you, would you prefer Chief, Amigo, or [censored]?"

I was once told by an Indian Casino dealer to "watch it" using this word.

This guy was clearly not familiar with Hulk Hogan's body of work.

Obviously, you and him must bury the hatchet and smoke a peace pipe.
