The Lighter Side of Racism

A few posts back, I said that Jeth and I had never, as a couple, been subjected to any racially insensitive comments. That is mostly true, but there was one time where someone said something ignorant. It was so dumb though, that I forgot to mention it. Actually, it's pretty funny. There was this lady (and I use the term loosely) who worked in the same real estate office I used to. She was an agent and a raging whore. Most real estate agents are old and unattractive ladies, but there is a small yet noticeable minority who are somewhat younger and extremely slutty. This agent is one of them. She is so gross that she actually turned a handsome young man gay after he'd slept with her in drunken one night stand. I know people say it can't happen, but it's no lie. At the very least, he came out of the closet much sooner than he might have otherwise. I guess he figured that there was less shame in being with a man. He was right. I'll call her Raging Whore.

One day, I brought a picture of my family into the office. Raging Whore stopped in to do her usual phony schmooze act and happened to see it. Loudly, so everyone in the office could hear what an intellectual she was, she exclaimed, "I didn't know you were married to a CAUCASIAN!" I'm pretty sure she meant Asian, but she was an idiot, so I'm not positive.

I said, "I'm not. My husband is Vietnamese." She said (loudly still, so everyone would know her as a genius), "Yeah, I can tell because of the eyes. But I always thought the men were kind of small." She spread her thumb and forefinger about 3 inches apart and held it at waist level.

Now, I'm not in the habit of discussing my husband's penis size in front of large office crowds, but I've also never been one to flinch at impropriety. I laughed (because really, it was funny) and said, "I don't know how many ASIAN guys you've been with, but my husband's just fine, thank you." I spread my palms about 12 inches. A slight exaggeration. Sorry Jeth. :-)

Raging Whore's eyebrows shot up as high as her skirt. One thing I'll give her is that her bigotry (?), racism (?) (I have no idea what to call it) dissolves at the rumor of a big dick.

Poor Jethro has been the victim of her curiosity for awhile and he has learned to avoid her like the walking corpustle she is.

Like everyone else, we'll probably be gone for most of the weekend. Have fun everyone!
