Isn’t it just a wee mite condescending and stereotypical to “invite them over for a beer?”
Isn’t it buying into “white cop = blue collar slob = beer drinker”? For all they know, Sergeant Crowley could be an expert in single malts.
Wouldn’t it have been less stereotyping and condescending to simply invite the two over “for a chat?” Or, “for a drink,” unspecified?
I think so.
Personally, I only drink with people I’m friendly with, so they’re wouldn’t be a whole lot of drinking going on at the WH tonight.
