re: #214 CuriousLurker

I’ll say. There are people who seem to assume that because I’m Muslim I must dislike Jews, so they often feel quite free to say things that (I assume) they otherwise wouldn’t. That pisses me off on a couple of levels.

Not quite the same, but for some reason, I get trapped in a lot of “just between us white guys” conversations. That’s where I’m talking with another white person and they’ll complain about “those people”; AKA, blacks, Hispanics, Mexicans, bascially anyone with a tan. Apparently, I’m not a team player.

It’s usually with people I don’t know very well. These conversations never, ever end pleasantly.
