re: #100 buzzsawmonkey

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.

Huh. Maybe someone should tell Crowley he was engaging in stereotyping and insulting himself? He was the one who came up with the idea and suggested the beers.
